What we really need is the equivalent of Cisco =E2=80=99show = interface=E2=80=99 This shows the bit rate, packet rate, count, all the various type of = errors, etc. Cisco allows a description field to be set for each interface, and that = shows up also in a =E2=80=99show int=E2=80=99 output. I think these would be great features, considering how ofter FreeBSD is = used for routers and firewalls.
