In the commit below I changed our ifconfig output to more closely match
that of NetBSD and OpenBSD with regard to media support. The main change
is that the list of supported media is no longer shown in the status
unless you add the -m option. This is because you rarely care what's
on that list. Also, media: line how shows the type of the interface
(Ethernet, FDDI, etc.). Finally, when printed, the supported media list
now has one entry per line rather then the old mess where you couldn't
tell where one entry began and the next ended.
It seems fairly unlikely this will break anything and it's been in
-current for a month now without any complaints, but it changes the
default output of a significant command so I figured a HEADS UP message
was in order.
Examples of the old and new output are below:
old:
# ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>
