Requirement to customize Linux Network Interface naming Convention

[Akash Bhatnagar]

Hi,

We have a requirement to tweak the Linux Network Interface Naming
conventions so that, it can support names of interfaces with "/" character.

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?

Thanks
Akash Bhatnagar
