Re: [Take 2] Re: RFC: interface description

From my perspective, putting it in a separate db outside the kernel
kind of defeats the purpose. I thought the first patches had the
right idea. though for me the current ability to rename an interface
is good enough. I mean is you can cal your interface "Sydney0" or
"Melbourne2" that is really enough..

Having read the discussion, I agree that the description should be
in the kernel. However, being a router geek the ability to rename
an interface to "Sydney0" or "Melbourne2" is not at all enough. For
the routers & switches I work with we really want a description of
at least 50 characters - and it's important to be able to include
space.
