Description

/etc/rc.banner and related show the 'descr' field of the interface; with ample options to edit and manage.

Would be very nice if these where also propagated to an '/sbin/ifconfig <iface> description "<desc>"' command to configure the interface.

As these values are picked up by (the most recent) version of (b)snmp in the ifAlias SNMP oid; which is picked up by management consoles.
