Names like "ax0", nr0", "rose0, etc. are all reserved names in Linux
ax.25 land and they have very specific meanings and connotation.
Overloading those names with the user facing interface will confuse you
to what should be used for various applications, etc. I'm not exactly
sure WHY the LInux AX.25 stack was built this way but it IS and I don't
recommend anyone do this though, to your very point, it does work.
