[vbox-dev] [PATCH] FreeBSD Permit IFT_L2VLAN in addition to IFT_ETHER when enumerating interfaces

[Landon J Fuller]

On FreeBSD, if_vlan(4) interfaces have an if_type of IFT_L2VLAN rather than IFT_ETHER, which prevents their inclusion in VirtualBox's NetIfList()-generated list of interfaces.

The attached patch adds support for IFT_L2VLAN interfaces in the FreeBSD implementation of NetIfList(), treating them identically as IFT_ETHER interfaces. I've confirmed that with the attached patch, interface bridging with a tagged if_vlan(4) interface works on FreeBSD 9.x.

Thanks!
