Hi.
Since ifconfig has grown to label interfaces with
ifconfig $ifname description "foobar", what about
to give it more life and store i/face descriptions
semi-permanently, so they will survive between reboots?
This patch adds a functionality to rc.d to label
interfaces at boot time.
Comments are welcome.
This seems like a good addition, thanks. Please also write a patch for
rc.conf.5 to describe this new functionality and I'll be happy to commit
it. One note below.

This is probably better as [ -n "$_ifdescr" ]
