Here's the nlmon packet capture for the ynl request:

        0x0000:  0004 0338 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010  ...8............
        0x0010:  2400 0000 1500 0503 f9d3 0000 0000 0000  $...............
        0x0020:  1901 0000 1000 0180 0900 0200 6574 6832  ............eth2
        0x0030:  0000 0000                                ....

Length: 0x00000024
Family ID: 0x0015 (ethtool)
Flags: 0x0305 (Return all matching, Specify tree root, ack, request)
Sequence: 0x0000d3f9
Port ID: 0x00000000
Command: 0x19
Family Version: 0x01

Then 16 bytes of data that does contain the interface name given to
YNL. I haven't parsed that, it seems to require manual effort to do
so as wireshark is unable to do so.

I'd be guessing to draw any conclusions from this without deeper
analysis.
