Could not PATCH /api/v2/interface for GIF interface

[chocomus]

I have GIF interface in pfsense, but could not PATCH /api/v2/interface to update that interface.

With pfsense-api v1, I could update the interface, but not with pfsense-api v2.

The following is the curl CMD results of GET /api/v2/interface and PATCH /api/v2/interface.

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://pfsense.localdomain:32250/api/v2/interface?id=opt9' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'x-api-key: foobar' | jq

Thanks for reporting this. v2 uses a different built-in pfSense function to determine available interfaces than v1, but apparently the new function doesn't include all auxiliary interfaces. I'll either supplement that function or just switch it back to old one in the next release.
