enlightenment and lighting controls

One of my chief interests is lighting. This manifests primarily as no end of tinkering with inexpensive consumer IoT devices, because I am cheap and running new cabling is time consuming. I did nearly end up using DMX for my under-cabinet lighting but ultimately saw sense and stuck to a protocol that is even more unfamiliar to the average consumer, Z-Wave.
RS232 and Null Modem HAT For The Pi Zero

Version 2 was a significant improvement. Not only do all the components fit on board, but it works and it supports CTS/RTS and optional null-modem. This board is suitable for a range of RS232 projects. The files to make your own boards are available from Github. For details on how to make it talk to the Psion, see my previous post.
lladdr-tied Config Support May Soon Land in ifconfig(8) and netstart(8)

It started with a thread on misc@ with the subject "Locking network card configuration" where the problem description is, when two or more network interfaces are attached to the same USB bus, their numbering may not be entirely predictable. The question is, what workarounds are possible?
