Looking at /etc/network= .subr on a 10.0-RELEASE system shows the eval line. So, it looks like one can just add " description something cool to describe interface" to =E2=80=8Bthe end of the ifconfig_IF=3D line. Not as neat and organised as having a separate ifconfig_IF_description variable to set, but still very much workable. Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. Now to play with it at work. :) --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
