NetworkInterfaces - .net10 shows strange adapters.

[BornToBeRoot]

Since .net 9 / 10 the network interfaces shows a lot of adapters:

Possible workaround?

• Blacklist of adapter names?

Reported to dotnet/runtime dotnet/runtime#122751

Current blacklist:

    private static readonly List<string> NetworkInterfaceFilteredPatterns =
    [
        "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Filter",
        "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter",
        "WFP Native MAC Layer LightWeight Filter",
        "Npcap Packet Driver (NPCAP)",
        "QoS Packet Scheduler",
        "WFP 802.3 MAC Layer LightWeight Filter",
        "Ethernet (Kerneldebugger)",        
        "Filter Driver",
        "WAN Miniport",
        "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter"
    ];

Filter in the network interface:

if (NetworkInterfaceFilteredPatterns.Any(pattern => 
    networkInterface.Name.Contains(pattern) || 
    networkInterface.Description.Contains(pattern)))
    continue;

Problem solved for now. I'm leaving this issue open for now... the filter may not be complete. I still believe this needs to be fixed by the dotnet team.
