It also started happening sometime in the lifetime of 8-STABLE some months ago, with "netstat -i" showing usbus network interfaces despite no ethernet NIC being attached. It appears that "ifconfig" is smart enough to omit these in output, as was netstat in former times on RELENG_8 (and still is on RELENG_7), so why include them now? Just wondering... Cheers, Paul.
