During last two months I have seen at least three people
getting confused why wireless interfaces were denoted
to be wired by the naming.
Any cross platform software cannot rely on interface names
anyway.
Um, and why is loopback interface named any differently?
If you are going to generalize interface name, please do
not tie it to one type of interface. Peoples scripts will
break anyway.
