Re: kern/110720: [net] [patch] support for interface descriptions


Nice feature, although it would be nice to align the maximum length with
IF-MIB::ifDescr (255 byte + \0). Also I suppose that the field more
naturally fits into struct if_data (see net/if.h) given the comment for
that struct:

/*
* Structure describing information about an interface
* which may be of interest to management entities.
*/
