Thanks for that. I see it there. WTF? Any idea why I don't see it with ifconfig?
Heh. Because ifconfig is really old, and apparently no longer maintained. http://inai.de/2008/02/19 Mind you, I see that after the 15-ish years of hiatus, some changes have gone in somewhat recently: net-tools (1.60+git20161116.90da8a0-1) unstable; urgency=medium After 15 years without upstream development, net-tools is being worked on again, fixing many long-standing issues. The bad news is that the output of many commands has changed, and it is sure to break scripts that relied on parsing it. If you have customs scripts that use any of these commands, please make sure they still work after this upgrade: netstat, ifconfig, ipmaddr, iptunnel, mii-tool, nameif, plipconfig, rarp, route, slattach, arp. Apologies in advance for the trouble that this may cause, but maintaining a separate version of net-tools just to keep the old format is something I am not able to do. -- Mart_n Ferrari <tincho@debian.org> Mon, 26 Dec 2016 05:29:25 +0000 [Note: My fingers know to use ifconfig, not ip ;-) ] -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
