--- Comment #8 from Mark Felder <feld at FreeBSD.org> ---
The problem I fixed was that "groups" were hidden from ifconfig(8) output.

The outstanding issue is that when pf was ported to FreeBSD we never made
automatic group membership work. As originally stated in this PR:

The problem appears to be that we do not have interfaces in groups by default.
OpenBSD has the following in their ifconfig(8):

                     Some interfaces belong to specific groups by default:

                     -       All interfaces are members of the all interface
                             group.
                     -       Cloned interfaces are members of their interface
                             family group.  For example, a PPP interface such
                             as ppp0 is a member of the ppp interface family
                             group.
                     -       pppx(4) interfaces are members of the pppx
                             interface group.
                     -       The interface(s) the default route(s) point to
                             are members of the egress interface group.
                     -       IEEE 802.11 wireless interfaces are members of
                             the wlan interface group.
                     -       Any interfaces used for network booting are
                             members of the netboot interface group.


This functionality is extremely valuable and expected to work when you read the
pf docs.
