I'd agree but the network up/down functionality tends to vary significantly 
from distro to distro. There's also the question of "what package would we add 
this functionality to?" I mean, I assume it wouldn't be part of ofa_kernel. 
Might actually be the installer script that has to patch the DHCP chain.

The node description needs to be set from the DCHP notifier script chain (eg 
/etc/network/if-up.d/ on Debian) and also from a udev rule triggered on device 
insertion.

It should probably not be set from the openibd script..
