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. ---------------------------------------- Feature #9779: Add type information to network interfaces https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9779 Author: Orion Poplawski Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: network interface wireless Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.1 In particular I would like to know whether and interface is a wireless interface or not. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
