https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272144 Bug ID: 272144 Summary: netlink sets ifi_type to FreeBSD if_type instead of ARPHRD_* Product: Base System Version: 13.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: misha@freebsd.org Netlink software which uses ifi_type from ifinfomsg structure expects it to= be set to ARPHRD_* values, but currently it's getting set to if_type (from net/if_types.h). sys/netlink/route/iface.c:259 ifinfo->ifi_type =3D ifp->if_type ifinfomsg defenition is in sys/netlink/route/interface.h struct ifinfomsg { ... unsigned short ifi_type /* ARPHRD_* */ ... } Because of this software receives 0x6 (IFT_ETHER) instead of 0x1 (ARPHRD_ET= HER) for wireless interfaces and 0x18 (IFT_LOOP) instead of 772 (ARPHRD_LOOPBACK= ). Same assignment happens in 14-current. Is this difference from Linux intentional? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
