In fact, and now I'm getting sort of off-topic, I really don't like that
approach. Having "wlan1" as the P2P device interface is pretty useless
-- I think it's a workaround approach. That interface can never really
be used to transfer data, so it being a network interface is not very
natural.

I'm starting to think that there is a real need for having a P2P
abstraction (enable/disable P2P) with P2P device address, but I think
that a separate network interface is almost certainly not the right
answer.
