Re: [Puppet Users] facter fails to detect network interfaces with long names
Looking at the gentoo response in the ticket, the decision to maintain the interface truncation looks pretty final. Regardless of this, supporting iproute2 should be a priority, since I've heard of minimal arch installs that don't include net-tools at all and we can expect the trend towards iproute2 to continue.
