I know about limitations in Kernel and have seen some efforts in the past to avoid this. but generally I don't think it would be successful to go down the road to allow slashes. > For your example the new code would pick a name of "enp0s0d0", i.e. for > pci bus 0, slot 0, and dev_id 0. It would take some time to geht used for this names, anyway... In your link below I have seen "ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD_LABEL=Ethernet Port 1" can anybody explain where this label is being exposed to userland tools for display and management purposes?
