Our Plugable.com usb3me-hub3me usb-to-ethernet network adapters are
named by default as enx${MacAddress} which with the NULL ‘\0’ at
the end pushes it to 16 characters.
enx${MacAddress}.3 does not work to get to vLan 3 because of the
name is too long.
So will have to use udev rules to rename these devices so that i can
get them on the switch management vLan i locked myself out of …. yet
again.
