It started with a thread on misc@ with the subject
“Locking network card configuration”
where the problem description is, when two or more network interfaces are attached to the same USB bus, their numbering may not be entirely predictable.
The question is, what workarounds are possible?

The thread, where several developers offered their insights, and which soon migrated to tech@ with the subject switched to “lladdr support for netstart/hostname.if (was: Re: Locking network card configuration)” and later “lladdr support for netstart/hostname.if” turned up several suggestions, with several patches, and potential support for link level address (MAC address) tied configuration via a new hostname.MAC(5) file to supplement the more familiar
hostname.if(5) config file, complete with corresponding
ifconfig(8) options.

Please read the messages and patches, and if you have useful input for the developers on this, please chime in via tech@ or in comments here if you prefer.

Once again, an interesting feature that may materialize for testing in snapshots in the near future.

Via Hackaday: We’re used to the so-called “Hackintoshes”, non-Apple hardware running MacOS. One we featured recently was even built into the case of a Nintendo Wii. But Dandu has gone one better than that, by running MacOS on an unmodified Wii, original Nintendo hardware (French, Google Translate link). How has this seemingly impossible task been achieved? Seasoned Mac enthusiasts will remember the days when Apple machines used PowerPC processors, and the Wii uses a PowerPC chip that’s a close cousin of those used in the Mac G3 series of computers. Since the Wii can run a Linux-based OS, it can therefore run Mac-on-Linux, providing in theory an environment in which it can host one of the PowerPC versions of MacOS. So it’s not really running MacOS 9.2.2 directly on the hardware, but it’s close enough. Impressive work.
