Subject: [PATCH] hv: name network device ethX rather than sethX
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:11:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100311091137.27f22c57@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100309174217.00ae3f3b@nehalam>
This patch makes the HyperV network device use the same naming
scheme as other virtual drivers (Xen, KVM). In an ideal world,
userspace tools would not care what the name is, but some
users and applications do care. Vyatta CLI is one of the tools
that does depend on what the name is.
