It's extraordinarily disappointing to me that the discussion here has
been on the name alone, rather than something more substantive, such
as the APIs and behaviors that would (one day) be needed to emulate a
wireless AP.

If the folks so desperately upset by this can come up with a name that
isn't either someone else's trademark or otherwise unusably bad,
please do, and we'll consider it.

(I think the idea that the name will be confusing is risible.  On what
planet does the dladm command line have anything to do with file
system semantics?)
