Description

Good day. I'd be interested in seeing options for the -y and -z flag to LADVD get added.

These are explain in ladvd(8).

-y Save received peer hostname and port description in interface
descriptions (requires SIOCSIFDESCR support) or Linux ifAliases.
This also enables receive mode.

-z Save received peer hostname and port name in interface
descriptions (requires SIOCSIFDESCR support) or Linux ifAliases.
This also enables receive mode.

The result, of -z in this case is shown like so:

igb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    description: connected to UBNT (0/1)
    options=400b8<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWTSO>

Patch attached as an example. The options aren't mutually exclusive however it does seem to default on the first specified. So perhaps a select one or the other drop box would be better.

The text shown also a bit wordy so could use a suggestion over what would be most ideal as far as both the options and config option naming.

Cheers,
Jason
