Which is the problem. If I understand correctly, the original question
was about interface, which can be anything. For example, the loopback
network interface does not correspond to any physical device.
Exactly, a network interface is rather a software entity whereas a card
is more of a physical device, although physical devices usually have a
software mapping under linux. So... Do we have an accurate translation
for "network interface" ? and for "network device" ?
