Anyhow, so while I agree that:
Interfaces section should be called Networks.
Devices section should be called Interfaces.
... it will directly contradict /etc/config/network, where networks are called
`config interface` and interfaces are called `config device` likely leading to
even more confusion.

How about we change "config interface" to "config network" while also allowing interface 
or automatically converting to network for backwards compatibility, and keep "config device" intact 
as it's an acceptable term anyway?

Sounds good. Incidentally, the config/network « interface » is referred to as « 
network » in config/firewall, so we already halfway there.

I think changing devices to interfaces on LuCI entries is fine.

If we keep « devices » (which I think is fine), I believe LuCI and uci should 
agree on the term. Otherwise we would still have confusion.

Well, it would still be less confusing than the state we're currently in. Anyway, converting "config interface" to "config network" and "config device" to "config iface" is an option.

What do you say Jo?
