Or, follow the pattern of the W24 and W5 interface names, and use EINT and EEXT
Or W-24, W-5, E-INT, E-EXT
Or an "h" prefix, for homenet: hW24, hW5, hInternal, hExternal
Or, because names seem to be converted to uppercase, use a "H-" prefix: H-24,
H-W5, H-Internal, H-External
I'm not in love with any of these: they all kind of hurt my eyes. But I will
try one variation in my next draft.

If a package is available in the woods, but nobody tries it out, does it make a
sound? (That's one of my motivations for this new guide - to broaden the test
base.)

I have permissions edit the OpenWrt wiki. However, I have never taken the time
to become sufficiently knowledgeable on the subject to feel comfortable that my
rewriting would improve its quality. (Thus far - touch wood - I have
successfully avoided needing to know about failsafe booting...)

re: my dry description of homenet.
I agree - it's dry. I was hoping to trick someone on the list into blurting out
something memorable (sometimes it works :-)
I'll draft a 30-second "elevator pitch" about homenet and post it to the list.
It'll definitely include:
- no/minimal configuration;
- naming;
- some use cases (repeating wireless).
- oh, and IPv6.
- Anything else?
Thanks again.
Rich
