Looking at the output of ifconfig -v, there is more info we could be showing on status_interfaces.php.

At a minimum, on supported interfaces such as ix, it will display information about connected SFP modules.

ix0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    options=e400bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>

Wireless interfaces also show much more information, though it's debatable how useful that level of detail is in this case.

status_interfaces.php uses get_interface_info() to pull the info, which in turn pulls it from pfSense_get_interface_stats() which is provided by the pfSense module, so this change would need to be made there.
