Hi, I am writing some code that is using the systems ifnet structs via ifnet_byindex(), I have two network interfaces : broadcom BCM6750A1M using the 'bge' driver Intel PRO/wireless 2915ABG using the 'iwi' driver I have written some code to output the ifnet->if_type for each interface and it shows that both have type 6 (IFT_ETHER). My question is why do they both have this type when there are IFT_GIGABITETHERNET and IFT_IEEE80211? I was planning on using this value to distinguish what sort of connection each interface is using but obviously with both returning IFT_ETHER this is not possible, any help is much appreciated! Cheers Matt
