Does this work? The other device is not registered at this time, so I
think the allocated names could clash ..
Oh! And one more thing, I've just thought about - even two devices with
similar name would be ok when we have a namespaces and one of the ends of
this tunnel is to be in some other namespace rather that the init one.
Yes, but we don't have network namespaces yet. Which brings up another
question: is this driver of any use without namespaces?
Sure. For example, you can join two bridges together.
Thanks,
