= Linux kernel patch: network interfaces kernel-side descriptions =

Prepared patches (for [source:trunk/packages/linux/patches/ linux], [source:trunk/packages/kernelheaders/patches/ kernelheaders], [source:trunk/packages/net-tools/patches net-tools] and [source:trunk/packages/iproute/patches/ iproute]) add way to store descriptions of network interfaces in sensible and convenient way. {{{ip addr}}}, {{{ip link}}} and {{{ifconfig}}} commands are using descriptions to give better formated output and allow to change them. Basic sysfs support included.
