Tomasz WasilczykandMarc Kleine-Budde	7a318636e7	slcand: Don't fail when it wasn't possible to fetch the interface name. On some systems SIOCGIFNAME may fail with ENOTTY, but the actual slcanX interface gets properly configured. Instead of crashing hard on such case, let's gracefuly degrade and just not display the interface name.	2025-04-06 10:03:36 +02:00
