Requirement to customize Linux Network Interface naming Convention

[Akash Bhatnagar <actiononmail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We have a requirement to tweak the Linux Network Interface Naming

conventions so that, it can support names of interfaces with "/" character.

For example, ip tuntap add dev fe/1/1 mode tap

With iproute2 it simply shows error as INVALID Argument. What are the

changes we supposed to do inside Kernel and iproute2 package?

Thanks

Akash Bhatnagar
