I'm sorry that you missed it, and are bringing this back up again so that we have to discuss it once more. If anything, the veth naming makes more sense than the IBM device cases. And that's why I decreed that last time this came up that the naming for veth was just fine. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
