Staging: hv: name network device ethX rather than sethX
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch makes the HyperV network device use the same naming scheme as
other virtual drivers (Xen, KVM). In an ideal world, userspace tools
would not care what the name is, but some users and applications do
care. Vyatta CLI is one of the tools that does depend on what the name
is.
