USB ports show up as network interfaces
Added by Larry Titus over 12 years ago.
Updated almost 12 years ago.
Description
usbus## shows up as network interfaces on both the console and in the WebUI. See attached screenshots. This was tested on 2 different boxes. One box was a 2.0.1 to 2.1 upgrade using the pfSense-Full-Update-2.1-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20120322-1116.tgz snapshot. The other was a clean install using pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20120322-1116.iso.

Correction, I used the i386 versions not amd64.
- Target version set to 2.1
they show as network interfaces on stock FreeBSD 8.3 and newer, some gripes on FreeBSD lists on it, no responses as to why. we'll probably just have to filter them out.
setting hw.usb.no_pf=1 in loader.conf will fix this. I didn't quickly see where to set this for new installs and upgrades to commit but wanted to note it here.
Maybe just patch it to give a default value of 1 to disable it in kernel?
I'd much rather just set that in loader.conf by default, the fewer kernel patches the better.
