Find alternative package for netifaces
I found netifaces package is no longer under maintained since python3.9 , detailed info here: https://github.com/al45tair/netifaces/issues/78. Some other projects have moved to using other packages, eg psutil: https://github.com/ros2/ros2cli/pull/875
Maybe we can also move to using other under maintained, reliable packages as well.
By the way, there is this project: https://github.com/SamuelYvon/netifaces-2
But I'm not sure it'll work well on FreeBSD: https://github.com/SamuelYvon/netifaces-2/issues/36
FreeBSD can be treated as a special case, I guess.
Maybe... or we can try to fix this package to work with FreeBSD, or we can choose another library 🙂
@zhengfeihe are you still planning to work on this?
Yes.. Just got delayed onmy current pr. I will start working on this soon.
@zhengfeihe I think you might want to work on this, going to assign you.

Thanks! I already started.
As we need to support Ubuntu24.04, this issue seems to become critical at the moment. Some error happens in the CI of the PR #1486: Log
@zhengfeihe please confirm if you can submit the PR for this by today; otherwise, I am sorry that I have to unassign you and take over this issue.
