Subjectnet-tools bug causes ifconfig stats error and patch
DateWed, 25 Mar 1998 06:23:07 -0500
net-tools 1.432
ifconfig 1.29 (1997-09-23)

ifconfig.c parses /proc/net/dev incorrectly for Linux 2.1.90 (happened
sometime earlier).  I saw this problem mentioned in the kernel mailing list.

There are now 16 arguments to parse and it screws up the stats by a couple
of columns.

Here's my proc/net/dev:
Inter-|   Receive                                                |  Transmit

0    0    0    0     0    0    0
The addition is compressed/multicast on the rx side and compressed on the tx
side.  Perchance the code should check the headers to ensure it matches the
expected format and give a warning?

Is there a newer version?

I've attached a patch that fixes the problem.
