I'm not sure this works out well as I believe user-level apps like netstat 
assume interface names are short max-lengthed strings.  I've been using the 
ndis stuff (great work btw) and was thinking instead that it would be nice to 
customize the device by specifying the name at config time.

I think you need to discuss changes like this before committing them.
