If you change a NIC name in /etc/wfe/itf.conf, the configurations for the spesfic NIC (read: NAT, routing, etc) will refer to the old 'NIC name'.
In such case, you will have to edit the firewall configuration for the NIC. I will say it would be easier to remove the settings, remove the card and re-add it with a new name.

Correct me if I am wrong!

In this case it is really easier to remove it in Webadmin and rename it as I want it.

Thx, Matjaz
