Because this
is the normal way to create virtual network devices (please
feel free to correct me).
Well, I've seen different iface types using many tools, e.g. vconfig,
tunctl, brctl..
Not that this justifies the fact that we should do the same (imho having a
standard and unified way for creating interfaces would be the best option). But, to be honest, I think it should better discuss
how to entirely
moving/changing the existent API to a "better one" or to a "new
one",
instead of starting to maintain two of them from now on with no plan, don't
you think so?
I leave this discussion to the maintainers of batman-adv. Btw. removing the
old one without a time of coexistence sounds like a bad move. And therefore
maintaining of both interfaces like it is done in other network devices seems
to be necessary.
Kind regards,
