I'm running (and have been running) the version on github verbatim with
success.
Does 'service -e | grep ethname' return the path the ethname? If not,
put the 'ethname' script chmod-ed 555 and owned by root into
/usr/local/etc/rc.d ...
I'm also running 11.0RC2, but on amd64; I don't think that should be
the issue, especially if you can run it manually via 'service ethname
start'.
