That will help but you don't need the link if it uses the same name as
the device name in NOTES and the source directory.

I don't ask since when it has been called or how many people type
ifconfig ctau0 every day (though I will write a script like
network-on.sh instead).
It seems that you are using `ct' for the abbreviation of `ctau'. Then,
I request not to use `ct' for the name of the driver and the man
page. I don't care whether `ct' name is used for ifconfig or not but
reqeust to not to use it for the driver name and the man page.
