Subject: displayed name changed in ip link show for bridge- and other interfaces

Hello,

between Linux 4.0.5 and 4.1-rc7 the name as shown by "ip link show"
of bridge interfaces (and at least the dummy interface) changed from 
(i.e.) br1 to br1@...E.

This breaks (at least for me :-) userspace (ip link show parsing
scripts). It is easy to solve, so not a big problem. I am using
Ubuntu 14.04.

Is this user visible change intended?

Thank you and best regards

Ulrich
