When implementing a network namespace I need to be able\nto have multiple network devices with the same name.

All that is needed is\nfor /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect\nlookups to the real directory you want. \n\nImplementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current\nnetwork namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a\nclean approach.
