ifconfig parsing of freebsd silently skips most fields

I’m trying to use jc to parse ifconfig output from a variety of FreeBSD systems. Unfortunately, most of the fields in the command output are being silently skipped by jc:

>>> import jc.parsers.ifconfig
>>> ifc0 = '''cxl3: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
...     options=6ec07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,HWRXTSTMP,NOMAP>
...     ether 00:07:43:3d:b7:70
...     hwaddr 00:07:43:3d:b7:88
...     media: Ethernet 10Gbase-LR <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>
...     status: active
...     nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
...     plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 10G Base-LR (LC)
...     vendor: INNOLIGHT PN: TR-PX13L-N00 SN: INJBL0431986 DATE: 2020-01-04
...     module temperature: 21.20 C voltage: 3.16 Volts
...     lane 1: RX power: 0.49 mW (-3.10 dBm) TX bias: 23.85 mA'''
>>> r0 = jc.parsers.ifconfig.parse(ifc0)
>>> r0
[{'name': 'cxl3', 'flags': 8843, 'state': ['UP', 'BROADCAST', 'RUNNING', 'SIMPLEX', 'MULTICAST'], 'metric': 0, 'mtu': 1500, 'mac_addr': '00:07:43:3d:b7:70', 'type': None, 'ipv4_addr': None, 'ipv4_bcast': None, 'ipv4_mask': None, 'ipv6_addr': None, 'ipv6_mask': None, 'ipv6_scope': None, 'rx_packets': None, 'rx_errors': None, 'rx_dropped': None, 'rx_overruns': None, 'rx_frame': None, 'tx_packets': None, 'tx_errors': None, 'tx_dropped': None, 'tx_overruns': None, 'tx_carrier': None, 'tx_collisions': None, 'rx_bytes': None, 'tx_bytes': None}]

Its unclear whether this is a bug, or expected behavior?

Apologies for the delay responding here, I was travelling for much of the past month.

The lane line is not vendor specific, and does refer to optical attenuation metrics. The lane is an integer. Here are a few more examples:

Thanks! I should be able to add the lane lines to the next release of jc.
