Since 8.X it is possible to network interface description via ifconfig vlanX description my long description Setting such description (any data with spaces) via ifconfig_IF=".. description 'my long description' ..." results in setting description "my" (e.g. data before first space) Various common escaping ('', \ , \"\") does not help Fix: Proposed solution is to add new ifconfig_IF_description rc.conf variable Patch attached with submission follows: How-To-Repeat: echo ifconfig_vlan555=\"description \'1 2 3\' vlan 255 vlandev IFACE\" >> /etc/rc.conf ifconfig vlan555 create ifconfig
