I installed wireshark on my 9-CURRENT machine yesterday and found that
the interface description fields are all set to 0xa5. From reading the
code it looks like the data is being fetched via pcap.

Device: usbus1
Description: \xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5
\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5
\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5
\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5\xa5
