FS#475 - Blacklist unuseful interface protocols

Sometimes the drivers give us a strange name (actually this practice was drop a lot by drivers developers), but there’s at least 2 that i know that are for a specific purposes, like vboxnet* that is for virtualbox related networks (not useful at all to have it on netconnector), and pan* that means Personal Area Network, so for bluetooth devices, not useful at all in netconnector too, i recommend to just ignore these 2 devices (maybe include a variable where to list all the ignorable devices in the header of the code?) from netconnector since they are not useful/needed, but also making NC buggy (in a sort of way)
