Hi Thomas,
Generally speaking you probably won't want to white list a virtual
device - just using it. However it does seem an inconsistency in the
design that you could add virtual devices but you can't white list them.
If they are added to the main device list they should be treated just as
another device.
In our particular use case we want to white list a pcap device to ensure
that it is the only available port for testing.
Thanks,
Nico.
