Hi,
We have a requirement to tweak the Linux Network Interface Naming conventions so that, it can support names of interfaces with "/" character.
Who is "we"? And why do you want such a thing?
For example, ip tuntap add dev fe/1/1 mode tap
With iproute2 it simply shows error as INVALID Argument. What are the changes we supposed to do inside Kernel and iproute2 package?
Lots, good luck :) But first, push back, you should never care what the network interface name is, that never matters. greg k-h
