Luckily, there is a way to do as you wish! If you set the "instance" value <n> during the tap_create API call, or use "id <n>" during the "create tap ..." CLI command, you will create an interface of the name "tap<n>". You may not use a different prefix than "tap", but at least you can know what the name will be when it is created. HTH, jdl
