David, in the past I used 'non-ifconfig'-like names (as you suggest) in 
axports and elsewhere. But for the simplicity, some few years ago I 
switched to using the names Folkert uses. And I did not notice any 
functional difference ... Both approaches work for me. Is there any 
requirement or constraint in the kernel, related to that?
