Max length of bridge device name?
Hi all,
Does anyone know the maximum length of the interface name created by 'brctl addbr'? How about any other restrictions on usable alphanumerics, for example is "-" (dash) or "_" (underscore) allowed, commas, periods, etc allowed?
Most docs I see refer to this as br0, but I'd like to use more descriptive names, such as vlan_105, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Josh

Well all should work (except "." and "..").
