A little web searching shows that the corresponding constant for Windows
seems to be 256 bytes, e.g. I see the following:

#ifndef IF_NAMESIZE              // Should be defined in Windows netioapi.h
#define IF_NAMESIZE         256  // Windows maps interface names to NDIS names which are 256 bytes long
#endif
