It does not look as frightening and complicated as I expected it to be
reading your previous announcement.
But still I thing this is solely the distro�s problem. Applications and
tools should never read such a file directly or via libax25. They should
use the socket interface as all other protocol families also do.

That�s another thing I�d really like to get rid of. What�s the point of
having symbolic names? IMHO it causes more confusion (i.e. when to use what)
than glory. As I understand it you can rename any kernel network interface
to anything you like (<8 chars) using the ip utility?
