Hi David,
The new device naming scheme will be supported. Regarding listing
'lo', I was told to filter it off the list of devices. At the moment I
am concentrating on the frontend before I start to code support for
enp**** and wl****. The reason is to have a clear view of what I
should code in the backend.
