This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces. Main goal is to: 1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes) 2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns) 3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
Ok, let's see where this goes. Series applied, thanks Jiri.
