Description
On a server, I have many virtual network connections, for VLANs, Interface Carp. We would have to differentiate.
With ifconfig, all physical network cards seem to have the line that begins with "media", virtual cards have not

maybe media is present when a link is plugged?

how do you plug a link on a virtual interface ?

Updated by Gonéri Le Bouder about 3 years ago
I meant, maybe if you unplug the link from your physical interface, the "media" information will vanish

I can't test now, but i'm sure not.
When we unplug the link, we have something like "Media: no link"

The VIRTUALDEV attribute should be set for those devices. It is currently computed from /sys/devices/virtual/net/ directory content, as well as 'brctl show' output.
Please test with current development release, or with 2.2.0 once released. If the problem still exists, please provide '/sbin/ip' output.
