Kernel dummy module

Hi,

I would like to use the dummy module to create a fake ethernet interface with a name and HWaddr of my choosing that is present on every boot. What is the best way of achieving this?

I know modprobe dummy will load the kernel module and create a dummy0 interface, but how do I rename it and set its HWaddr? I would like to know how to perform these tasks in a fashion that is persistent across reboots.

Kind regards,

Yax
