Ability for networking to show all connections

[warmfire540]

Checklist:

• [x] I updated to the latest version available
• [x] I checked that my MQTT broker is otherwise working

Release with the issue: v1.8.5

Last working release (if known): not sure - only used this version

Hardware, Operating System, Python version: RPi 3 Model B r1.2 py 2.7.16

Description of problem:

Run our report script 'genBugInfo' on your failing device and include the output here:

Networking in HA is not showing the vpn connection.  Here's what shows in HA:
networking: 
eth0:
  IP: 192.168.68.127
  mac: b8:27:eb:ce:1d:b2
  rx_data: 9
  tx_data: 1
wlan0:
  mac: b8:27:eb:9b:48:e7
  rx_data: 0
  tx_data: 0

Here is what shows in ifconfig on the device:

i'd like to see the nordlynx show up in the list

Python errors shown in the logs (if applicable):

no errors

Here's talk on an update but doesn't involve other named connection, just the standard physical ones.

There is a pull request for that too.

So if you can figure out a way to add VPN, it would need to be generic as your is just one naming type.

Also a way to split them up from physical?

Or even split them up in the attributes and to thier own sensors?

@bsimmo can we remove | /bin/egrep " eth| wlan" from the getNetworkIFsUsingIP func? the rest of the func would need to stop assuming 2 entries and just pass the whole list back in the attributes

for me then all my interfaces are returned regardless of naming

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
5: nordlynx: <POINTOPOINT,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1420 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

playing w/ the code it now shows my 2 connected ones, I haven't played w/ just showing them all yet - maybe next.
