Sure, just wanted to point it out.

In which sense ? Wireless interface are regular netdevices.

Yeah but in mac80211 we have the wiphy concept since multiple virtual
interfaces can be associated to one hardware, and that is where QoS is
done, not the netdevs. Of course, those interested can just listen to
nl80211 events to figure out if someone renamed a 802.11 phy, but things
like hal would probably not want to and still know about the name
change.

I'm just trying to follow the established pattern. Both
class_device_add() and class_device_del() are generating the
event. Also, I'm not sure if other subsystem would benefit from it, I
don't want to generate too many useless events.

I don't think many other subsystems (can) rename things ;)
