Hey kes-kes,

I'll copy my comment from the duplicate bug to here:

The periodic script that reports interface status information proxies to netstat(1).

You can customize the output by setting the variable `daily_status_network_netstat_flags` in /etc/periodic.conf. This variable is documented in the man page for periodic.conf(5)

By default, netstat(1) truncates interface names, so you'd want to put the following in /etc/periodic.conf to prevent netstat from truncating the names:

daily_status_network_netstat_flags='-W'

Perhaps this should be the default behavior.

There's patch on phabricator: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26023

Log:
  periodic.conf(5): don't truncate interface names reported by 420.status-network.

  The daily periodic script, 420.status-network uses netstat(1) to report
  interface status. By default, netstat(1) truncates interface names.

  Add the '-W' flag (avoid truncating interface names) as the default for
  'daily_status_network_netstat_flags' in periodic.conf(5).

  The default 420.status-network command is now 'netstat -i -d -W -n'.
