Hi all,
Does anyone know the maximum length of the interface name created by 'brctl addbr'? How about any other restrictions on
usable alphanumerics, for example is "-" (dash) or "_" (underscore) allowed, commas, periods, etc allowed?
Most docs I see refer to this as br0, but I'd like to use more descriptive names, such as vlan_105, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Well all should work (except "." and "..").
