When I issue "ngctl list" command on the host it only shows the socket for =

I thought it would also show the real NIC interface device names.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
No, you're not wrong, however one wrinkle is that ng_ether(4) has to be com=
piled-in to get the netgraph subsystem to attach to your real NIC interface=
s.
On the system where you're executing "ngctl list" (same thing as "ngctl ls"=
), can you execute:
config -x `sysctl -n kern.bootfile` | grep NETGRAPH_ETHER
and get back something like the following (which I get back from my system):
options NETGRAPH_ETHER # ng_ether(4)
(and on that system, I get the following for "ngctl ls")
root@folsom.vicor.com<mailto:root@folsom.vicor.com> ~ # ngctl ls

NOTE: Alternatively=85 if you don't get a response back from config(8) simi=
lar to the above,=85 does "kldstat" show an "ng_ether" entry? I think last =
time I tried to load ng_ether(4) as a module (versus compiled-in), it didn'=
t list any of my ether devices ("Type: ether" in above "ngctl ls" output).
