Hi,
I've attached a trivial patch for iproute2 to allow naming interfaces
created with "ip l2tp add session".
I believe patches should go through the netdev mailing list but this
patch is so small I figured that would just add noise. Hope that's OK.
Originally I thought I would need a bigger patch and was going to take a
stab at implementing something like
ip l2tp add tunnel L2TP_TUNNEL_ARGS
ip link add name NAME [ LINK_OPTS ] type l2tp L2TP_SESSION_ARGS
(a better interface IMHO) but all the code was there already, all that I
needed to add was option parsing.
Thanks,
João Valverde
