In normal Linux any attempt to create or rename an interface to something with slash in it is rejected with "Invalid argument" I suspect you are using some vendor modified kernel (Juniper or Cisco?) which allows slash in filenames because how else would you get ge0/0. If so, contact them it is there problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
