I have Android tablet, when I connect a USB/Ethernet adapter, the adapter
becomes 'eth0' and I can connect to the LAN, either with ifconfig or dhcp

If I enable 'aircraft mode' that disables WiFi, then eth0 becomes sole i/f
(apart from lo)

that works from terminal, and some apps work, BUT, most apps complain of
'no data' or 'enable WiFi' or something like it (browser complains, but
works, email works, file utility complains, but works, most 'diag' tools
don't work

so it seems they expect a 'wlan0' and disregard 'eth0'

is there a way I can mimic or alias eth0 as wlan0 ?? or ??
