@Aki, do you mean, what I am going to do with this dummy interface?
It just needs to exist, I have a program that verifies all mac addresses, and depending which specific one it finds, it loads internally a configuration file.
This device is not used for any type of communication, you can think of it like an unplugged ethernet port.
The two commands in my first post are sufficient to reach that state, but needs to be repeated at every reboot.
@arzgi
Yeah, I found different methods, but most where real interfaces, unfortunately I did not write down what I tried without success.
Most guides deal with real hardware, so similarly to your they match a mac address and configure something, while I mean more or less the opposite; configure nothing, but define a device with a given mac address.
