[linux-usb-devel] Feature for kaweth.c: setting the device name

[Oliver Kurth]

Hello again,

not as important as my last patch, but I think it's useful, especially
for hotpluggable devices, that can be plugged in at any order: set the
network device name with a module parameter (eth_name).

Greetings,
Oliver
