#9393: NetworkInterfaces don't identify themselves properly while disabled
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: kallisti5 | Owner: axeld
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Network & Internet/Stack | Unscheduled
Keywords: IsWireless IsEthernet | Version:

Blocking: | Blocked By:
Platform: All | Has a Patch: 0
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
kits/network/libnetapi/NetworkDevice.cpp:BNetworkDevice::IsEthernet()
kits/network/libnetapi/NetworkDevice.cpp:BNetworkDevice::IsWireless()
While an interface is disabled, both IsEthernet and IsWireless return
false making identification of network devices difficult while they are
disabled.
IsWireless checks for a media type of "IFM_IEEE80211"
IsEthernet checks for a media type of "IFM_ETHER"
As far as I can tell, these are both set properly at the freebsd glue
layer. My guess is that this failure might be comming from the
"do_request(request, Name(), SIOCGIFMEDIA) != B_OK" check in
BNetworkDevice::Media.
Maybe we should be identifying these devices using some other metric?
