If a `config device` section in `/etc/config/network` has an `option description` set for a physical port (e.g. lan2, lan3), the description is shown as a subtitle below the port name in the Port Status widget on the Overview page. Ports without a description are unaffected. Signed-off-by: Denis Iusupov <yusdyr@gmail.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
How do these hard-coded style elements look in the other supported themes? Seems like maybe a new class is needed, or pick from an existing one that's "close enough"?
(You only show one graphic in the PR, so it's hard to know how it will look with all of default, 2020 and material.)
