--- Comment #2 from Yuri Pankov <yuripv@gmx.com> ---
Originally, it was a request on IRC asking how to *programmatically* find t=
he
original name of renamed interface as some tunneling software wanted the tun
device, not the newly named interface.

I understand that it's not a usual use case, but in any case seemed helpful
enough to implement (I didn't find any other way) -- if it isn't or there a=
re
smarter/easier ways to find the original name, feel free to reject this.

The output now looks like the following (with devname listed only for renam=
ed
interface):

# ifconfig tun0 create name foo
foo
# ifconfig
