Issue #9779 has been updated by Ken Barber.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision
Affected Facter version set to 1.6.1

So the question is how you would work this out. What would be the canonical way 
of doing it? I can envision perhaps working it out by the short name of the 
interface ... but this can be overridden in some cases. You can back track 
through lsmod perhaps on linux ...

Also - how detailed should this be? What sort of information would you want 
from wired ethernet devices for example?

Bridges can be named just about anything and would require digging to work out 
the type as well ... perhaps btctl show would be a good way of working this out.

If you can outline some use cases for what you would do when you get this 
information that might be helpful.
