 Hi,
 
 I have updated the patch to work on RELENG_6. Here's it:
 http://people.freebsd.org/~novel/patches/freebsd/ifdescr_20060824_1_RELENG_=
 6.diff
 
 About a year ago brooks@ gave me a lot of helpful advises and now it
 allocates descriptions dynamicly.
 
 If it's not clear how that feature can be useful, we have a server with
 a lot of vlans:
 
 r1[~]# ifconfig | grep "^vlan"|wc -l
       36
 r1[~]#=20
 
 It's very hard to remember what is what.
 It can be usefull with mpd's up and down script as well.
