I have always assumed myself that naming an interface was an aliasing opera= tion and that the interface retained its underlying "system-given" name - if not= hing else in the sense that dev_printf() would still emit that name on the conso= le. Apart from those observations I have nothing further to add, and will take myself of the cc list. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
