I havent used ifrename so I decided to install it and see, it appears to
fully masq the name so that when you get the device by name it doesnt
exist as the old (meaning its not an alias but a real rename).  The
device cant be up when this happens though, which may pose problems for
some who dont want to down the interface.

I dont know about the register tool, whether or not that takes more than
one ethN device, but I have heard rumors that the codec itself will try
eth0, eth1, etc until it gets an error back from the ioctl() saying that
the device doesnt exist.  If its pulling all those devices then it
stands to reason that it will use them all when comparing the licenses/*
files.  But again I dont use the digium codec but instead the 3rd party
one that as yet isnt released to the public, so I really cant say if
this is true or not.
