Not really. Both are different by all means. May be I will get something better than this to get all the files listed. – Manya K Nov 29 '12 at 12:55

1If you're looking for network interfaces, the only sensible way is to actually ask the operating system -- if you THEN want the files, from the interface info you can CONSTRUCT the filename. Otherwise you'll never know if your list is complete. – Volker Stolz Nov 29 '12 at 13:23

Do I understand you correctly, you need all presented network devices files in /dev? Then just run
ls /dev/net* /dev/bge*
and parse results.

I wish it would have been like that, but unfortunately I need to get it using C program. Can't use parsing mechanism. – Manya K Nov 29 '12 at 11:21

yes, I understand. But is is enough for you to ls all devices and get results? – Oleksandr Kravchuk Nov 29 '12 at 11:29

What about also looking for `hme*`? Or `nge*`? There's no way of knowing the complete list by guessing. – Volker Stolz Nov 29 '12 at 13:27
