Description

The same problem as documented in this ticket appears to be back.

netInterface.NetworkInterfaceType always return a value of 0 on Android. I am running on a OnePlust 7T with Android 11. This used to work fine. After one of the more recent updates, this issue seems to have been re-introduced.

Reproduction Steps

This is the exact code I am running:

            foreach (var netInterface in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())
            {
                if (netInterface.NetworkInterfaceType == NetworkInterfaceType.Wireless80211 ||
                    netInterface.NetworkInterfaceType == NetworkInterfaceType.Ethernet)
                {
                    foreach (var addrInfo in netInterface.GetIPProperties().UnicastAddresses)
                    {

                        AvailableIPAddresses.Add(new IPObject() { IPAddress = (addrInfo.Address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6 ? addrInfo.Address.ToString().Replace("%" + addrInfo.Address.ScopeId, "") : addrInfo.Address.ToString()), IPAddressType = addrInfo.Address.AddressFamily });


                        if (addrInfo.Address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
                        {
                            var ipAddress = addrInfo.Address;

                            // use ipAddress as needed ...
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

netInterface.NetworkInterfaceType always return a value of 0 on my Android device. I also upgraded to the latest Visual Studio update and the problem persists.

Expected behavior

The NetworkInterfaceType value should match up to one of the NetworkInterfaceType enums

Actual behavior

NetworkInterfaceType is always 0.

Regression?

Yes it worked in previous version of my Xamarin Forms application. I am not sure which update broke it.
