lo0 not in ioctl( SIOCGIFCONF )

[Jens Rehsack]

Hi,

maybe this question is better asked in this list ...

I was searching why ports/net/p5-Net-Interface was not working as
expected and found some reasons. Most of them I can answer by implementing
some test code as attached, but now I'm wondering why em0 is shown twice
and lo0 is not included.
The same situation on another machine ..

Why aren't lo0, vlan0 and tun0 not included? What can I do to get these
entries (portable way, please).

Best regards,
