  *  DESCRIPTION: Add a WDSlink device to the system.
  * 		  On adding a WDSLINK to the MVC the following should be done:
  * 		  - Add a new device to the WDSlink devices list.
- * 		  - Create a device for this WDSlink (dev_alloc wds%d)
+ * 		  - Create a device for this WDSlink (dev_alloc_name wds%d)
  * 		  - Register the just created dummy device (register_netdevice)
  *               - Bring the just created device up and running by calling dev_open.
  * 		  - Somehow the brigde needs to be told to accept the new interface.
