Please don't use strncpy() - this is a good example why strncpy() is bad
news.

 * strncpy - Copy a length-limited, C-string
 * @dest: Where to copy the string to
 * @src: Where to copy the string from
 * @count: The maximum number of bytes to copy
 *
 * The result is not %NUL-terminated if the source exceeds
 * @count bytes.

Consequently, if "name" is IFNAMSIZ bytes or longer,
eth->netdev[id]->name will not be NUL terminated, and subsequent use
will run off the end of the string. strscpy() is safer to use here.

Thanks.
