Ok. I'm groaning a little bit at what a nuisance this is going to be to get support for multiple network namespaces in there after your fix goes in, directories can be easier to deal with. But once you figure this part out I will figure something out. For me the nasty case is 1 pci device that has multiple ethernet devices coming from it (I think IB devices have this property today), each showing up in a different network namespace, so they might all have the same name.
