[systemd-devel] RFC: Predictable Network Interface Names

[Holger Winkelmann]

Hi,

Generally great idea specially embedded people like us will welcome. Do you have any idea it's possible to allow the "/" slash in interface names as  known and seen in other network  devices? It could be used to name interface regarding the slot and port?

I.e.   fe0/01 for fast Ethernet port in first slot with a multi port NIC.
