Description

When restoring a config, and reassigning interfaces at the console, somehow this happens:
  • LAN/WAN are OK
  • OPT interfaces are disabled
  • OPT interfaces have lost their descriptions (custom names)

The latter two are quite bad situations to land in, especially if you manage the GUI from one of those OPT interfaces.
(This happens on current 2.1 snapshots, but may be an even older problem)

In the config history it has quite an unhelpful description, "(system): made unknown change".

Config diff when this happens:

$ diff -u /conf/backup/config-1339430243.xml /conf/backup/config-1339430374.xml
