Description

This is just a question of standardizing the output so it looks the same everywhere...

On the OSPF Interfaces, and OSPF6 Interfaces page, the list of interfaces presented are the XML interface names, eg: lan, wan, opt1, etc., and not the names assigned in Interfaces -> Interface -> Description, which is what the rest of pfSense uses to refer to an Interface. (This problem also exists in Quagga package).

In the below example, interface em2, known as opt1, but with a description of LAB2 appears as LAB2 in Firewall -> Rules, Firewall -> NAT, etc, but appears as opt1 in FRR -> OSPF Interfaces.

From my config XML:
<opt1>
<if>em2</if>
<descr><![CDATA[LAB2]]></descr>
<enable></enable>
<spoofmac></spoofmac>
<ipaddr>100.64.22.1</ipaddr>
<subnet>24</subnet>
<ipaddrv6>fd33:3e94:8260:2200::1</ipaddrv6>
<subnetv6>56</subnetv6>
</opt1>

That's not a package specific bug. It's a byproduct of how the pkg_edit.php select_source control type works. It only stores the actual value and has no means by which to look up the description.
