Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation: fix wrong example command
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:21:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170630162147.12369-1-mcroce@redhat.com> (raw)

In the IPVLAN documentation there is an example command line where the
master and slave interface names are inverted.
Fix the command line and also add the optional `name' keyword to better
describe what the command is doing.

v2: added commit message
