Anyway, what about that:
        net_interface                   => net_device
        net_module_interface    => net_device_private or
net_device_interface
                                                                or 
net_private_device or
net_internal_device
        net_logical_interface   => net_interface
        "_private                       => "_private

Generally, a net_interface is a net_device bound to a specific domain
with a specific address.

This sounds better.

Can a net_device have multiple net_interfaces for the same
domain/family? For instance, my ethernet card could have 192.168.0.1
and 62.123.12.11 at the same time. That's important for IPv6 and I
didn't find this in the source.
