It makes a nice "addon" to the ifconfig command the same way changing name of devices with ifconfig does. A differrent approach would be to make your shell read the device config from say an XML file and display info like device name stored in that file. But that would require and "rc.d/" file to read the XML info and set up devices accordingly. It's more of a custom thing the same way as quagga's shell is. My question is, did you get any response from FreeBSD commiters and is there a chance to have that change commited to FreeBSD's source tree? Cheers, Marcin.
