It's a bug in ifconfig. Ifconfig is not interpreting /proc/net/dev
properly...and it should be obvious when looking at the format why this
happens.
# cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |packets errs drop fifo frame|packets errs drop fifo colls carrier
lo:12919315 0 0 0 0 12919315 0 0 0 0 0
eth0:88574601 0 0 0 0 81180254 0 0 0 928764 0
eth0:0: 240854 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0:1: 21234 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0:2: 2503 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Fortunately, it's really simple to fix. The following also allows
ifconfig to display a lot more devices...previously, only about 32 devices
got listed by ifconfig.
I know this isn't the latest version...so maybe these things have already
been fixed.
