Thinking about this, you're mostly right. I was stuck in the world of
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but we can take advantage of the fact
that new network interfaces cause hotplug events.
There is a small issue of how to name the interfaces to solve but we
should be able to work that out.
Thanks,
Roland
