Currently, we convert all interfaces of type `IFT_ETHER` to `eth%d` format. This was done back in the days where all Linux network interfaces were named eth%d and lots of programs assumed the existence of `eth0`.
Nowadays, with a plethora of virtual interfaces and [Predictable Network Interface Name](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.net-naming-scheme.html) widely used, we can consider using unmodified interface names.
The driving factor for this diff is the upcoming support for AF_NETLINK, where real interface names are highly desired.
