+ <para>The name, a network interface should be renamed to, or the name
+ a device node should be named. Usually the kernel provides the defined
+ node name, or even creates and removes the node before udev receives
+ any event. Changing the node name from the kernel's default may result
+ in unexpected behavior and is not supported. Udev is only expected to
+ handle device node permissions and to create additional symlinks, which
+ do not conflict with the kernel device node names.</para>
