[lxc-users] bridged device's name

Hi all,

Is there a way to set a network device's host side name?

e.g. with lxc style configs:

#myContainer
lxc.net.0.type = veth
lxc.net.0.veth.pair = host-side-name
lxc.net.0.link = myBridge

brctl show myBridge

myBridge     8000.025134e8ffad	no	host-side-name

so that this happens

myBridge -> host-side-name === myContainer -> eth0

instead of

myBridge -> veth9OXS8PAW === myContainer -> eth0

I know that I can change the name after the fact using iproute2 but 
automated is better.

Thanks,
Mike Wright
