Yes.
I've always felt a little uncomfortable about the two-name problem myself.
Each AX.25 'port' has associated with it a Linux 'device'. I'd really like to
see those become one.
I can't help but believe that the separation is probably unnecessary.
One idea I had in mind was a simple patch that would allow each Linux network
'device' to have associated with it a short ascii string representing it's
real-world 'name' or 'label'. I personally think that'd be kinda elegant to
cover the case of programs like slattach, pppd and kissattach returning
variably named 'devices' even though at configuration time I had some invariant
thing in mind, that is, to store the association between the two.
I wonder though how such a patch would be viewed by the wider Linux networking
community?
regards
Terry
