Comment (by pulkomandy):
There is no direct mapping from drivers to devices that the app can
access. A driver may rely on multiple devices, possibly from different
busses (PCI, USB, ???) or o device at all (in case of virtual interfaces).
I have already made a change to remove "/dev/net/" from the name, to
restrict it to the more useful part of the path, I think this is enough.
There is no space in the preflet for "82579LM Gigabit Ethernet
Connection", and the icon already allows to know wether it is a wired or
wireless interface, which is usually enough information to identify the
device.
