[Windows] ethernet device names and attributes

Open sarnold opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Summary

  • OS: Github runner Windows-latest
  • Architecture: x86_64
  • Psutil version: 7.0.0
  • Python version: 3.9 - 3.13
  • Type: core

Description

As shown in Github Action logs line 30 returns what looks like a MAC address, where on POSIX (Linux and MacOS) it returns the IP address. I guess I'm confused about why this is inconsistent. Is there a sane way to filter device names on windows or another way to get the same info as POSIX environments? Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you please clarify?
