Issue #9779 has been updated by Krzysztof Wilczynski.
Hello, This is an interesting problem, and I think... I know how to tackle it a little :-) At least for wireless interfaces vs anything else (eth, ppp, tun, tap, pan, etc), simply because Linux supports quite a few device drivers and each have its way of naming the interface, therefore identifying all of them may take some time :-) Also, we assume that driver supports Wireless Extensions (a clue here) correctly -- we do not have the luxury of calling iw_get_basic_config() and then looking for EOPNOTSUPP in errno when ioctl call will be denied for us to identify anything wireless, therefore we have to use what Kernel is providing for us mortals in mere user-space :-) KW ---------------------------------------- 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.
