Add a new `device` section called "WAN" to hold options for the network device
named "eth0":
uci set static-device-names.WAN=device
uci set static-device-names.WAN.name=eth0
uci set static-device-names.WAN=device
uci set static-device-names.WAN.name=eth0
Here's how to assign a specific **MAC address** to the "WAN" device section:
uci set static-device-names.WAN.mac=08:00:27:7a:4e:87
uci set static-device-names.WAN.mac=08:00:27:7a:4e:87
Matching based on MAC address is the preferred method since all Ethernet
devices have a unique "burnt-in" MAC address (with the exception of virtual

Here's how to assign **PCI ID** for a PCI or USB device:
uci set static-device-names.WAN.pci_id=10ec:8125
uci set static-device-names.WAN.pci_id=10ec:8125
PCI IDs are in the industry-standard hexadecimal "\<vendor\>:\<device\>" form.
Or, a **PCI slot**:
uci set static-device-names.WAN.pci_slot=07:00.0
uci set static-device-names.WAN.pci_slot=07:00.0
PCI slots are assigned by the Linux kernel and are generally in the
"\<bus\>:\<device\>.\<func\>" form.
Or, a **USB slot**:
uci set static-device-names.WAN.usb_slot=9-1:1.0
uci set static-device-names.WAN.usb_slot=9-1:1.0
USB slots are assigned by the Linux kernel and are generally in the
"\<bus\>-\<port\>:\<port\>.\<if\>" form.
Don't forget to commit the configuration changes:
uci commit static-commit-names
uci commit static-commit-names
Any of `mac`, `pci_id`, `pci_slot`, and `usb_slot` options can be lists.
This can be useful if configurations are staged or tested on a virtual machine
or meant to be used on multiple devices:
uci add_list static-device-names.WAN.mac=08:00:27:7a:4e:87
uci add_list static-device-names.WAN.mac=08:00:28:8a:5e:88
uci commit static-commit-names
