By default, netstat on FreeBSD only shows the first five characters of an interfaced name, and truncates the rest. So following the standard VLAN naming convention (<iface>.<vlan_id>), we have interface names like re1.200, re1.210, and re1.220. These are seen as a single interface called re1.2 by the agent.

Unfortunately, at least OpenBSD has a differing interpretation of -W for netstat, so limit the additional flag to just FreeBSD for now. I don't have access to any other BSD to test right now. I'm also not sure this is the best way to handle this, but it seemed reasonably clean.

Thanks a lot @mutemule !

We will review and test.
Unfortunately we've have frozen the changelog for the release 5.1.0 so it will be reviewed for 5.2.0

You can use directly Platform.is_freebsd() 😉

Thanks again @mutemule , if you could just look at the few modifications I suggested and rebase that on master so that it can run the new Travis test suite that would be amazing! Looking forward to seeing this on a future agent release!!
