Bug Fix
-
VLAN interfaces with dot in their name (on operating systems such as FreeBSD) were not being correctly displayed by Facter 4 in the networking fact. This fix allows the default networking resolver to recognize interfaces with dot in their name.

Description
In FreeBSD, it's standard practice to specify VLAN interfaces with a period separating the interface and VLAN. (e.g. igb1.5 specifies the igb1 network interface VLAN 5).
However, Facter 4 is not picking these up as interfaces, and is instead assigning these attributes to the lo0 interface.
In lib/facter/resolvers/networking.rb:
interfaces_data = Hash[*response.split(/^([A-Za-z0-9_]+): /)[1..-1]]
|
adding a literal period "\." to the regex allows these interfaces to be properly identified.
interfaces_data = Hash[*response.split(/^([A-Za-z0-9_\.]+): /)[1..-1]]
|
