<pre>Hmm, we should probably not try to be smart with kernel names coming in, they
are passed by tools, and can be any name the tool writer likes.
What might work more reliably is a sysfs attribute like:
/sys/class/net/wlp3s0/name_assign_type
which indicates:
- kernel-allocated name (plain enumerated names by drivers)
- userspace passed-in at creation time (tools asked for that)
- userspace renamed name (not a kernel name anymore)
The udev would only grab the first one to rename.</pre>
