Issue #9779 has been updated by Orion Poplawski.
At least on Linux, wireless devices appear to have a wireless subdirectory in /sys/class/net/<interface>/. There is definitely other information to be gleaned from there as well that is for sure, but I can't think of what would be needed or not. After thinking further on my use case, I'm not sure it is completely necessary. My goal is to setup a /etc/dhcp/dhclient-<interface>.conf file on our laptops that contains: send dhcp-client-identifier "<hostname>"; which allows our dhcp server to assign the same address for the wireless interface as the ethernet interface. After thinking further about it, it actually wouldn't be a problem to create a dhclient.conf file for each of the interfaces even though it isn't strictly necessary. ---------------------------------------- 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.
