The "name" of the interface is not shown in the interface list window.
Only their "OS" description which is driver provided and unmutable AFAIK.
WS has a comment that you can attach to each IF to, e.g., differentiate
between multiple IFs with the same hardware, but it is not honored in
this window.
BTW, you can preview the actual name by hovering over the "start" button,
but only the OS device name is shown there (\Device\NPF_{....}) which
is not very user friendly so to say.
