Nice feature, although it would be nice to align the maximum length with IF-MIB::ifDescr (255 byte + \0). Also I suppose that the field more naturally fits into struct if_data (see net/if.h) given the comment for that struct:

/*

The string array should most likely not be part of struct ifnet as that
would bloat it quite a bit.  If it is in there it should be at the end
of the struct to avoid cache line busting effects.
