The good:
- Condensed information in table view, without having to expand sections.
- Sortable!
- Routes!
- Very detailed information in "Info" view.
The bad:
- Missing information, even in "Info" view: Delegated IPv6 prefix, DNS servers. This was there in the old overview.
- No DHCP reload button for DHCPv6 interfaces without DHCPv4. We fixed this a while ago in the old overview, but it seems it didn't make it to the new one.
The ugly:
- IPv6-only interfaces show "Link Type none".
- Status is only indicated by colour, the shape of the plug symbols is the same. Not great if you have issues seeing red / green.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers

DNS servers are not an interface property. :)
ver 23.1 shows them for the WAN interface. Maybe that's why it thought it was shown for all :)
@Patrick Technically speaking, you might be correct. The old interface overview showed (some) information acquired via DHCP and RAs in the properties of the interface which received it. This included DNS servers and delegated prefixes. I would be fine with showing this information somewhere else, but at the moment it seems nowhere to be found.
Reducing the width of the Status column might void the need for horizontal scrolling on 1366x768 screens.
Don't ask me how I know :)
Is there any way to get information about current interface uptime?
On 23.X it was available like on screenshot from this post:

The lack showing the IPv6 WAN delagated prefix is bad drop in my mind. WHY would that have been taken away? I cannot think of one good use case that would justify its removal...unless OPNsense is trying to mimic pFsense.
Being able to see the delegated prefix seems pretty important. It would be really nice if it was added back somewhere in the UI. I'm not even sure what if any command I can run in the terminal to retrieve it as a workaround. Does anyone know?
cat /tmp/*_prefixv6

Ran into this myself and posted (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=38884.0) about it. I think it should be (re)added. I now have to do a
ifctl -6pi [interface]on the console to see it.
Since new interface menu details no longer holds info about connection time, as workaround I use attached command:
grep -wns "IPCP: LayerUp" latest.log | cut -b 10-29
So instead of getting connection time, I can see when the interface was connected.
Not perfect, but works.
