I noticed that ifdata will error if a device in the list (not necessarily
the device you're querying) is longer than 6 characters. So I patched it
to accept up to 20 characters which I believe is the max possible in the
Linux kernel.
*** /tmp/tmpVwkMWJ
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* Don't assume that all interface names are 6 characters or less, for
instance "wmaster0" is longer. Increase the limit to 20 characters.
(LP: #370557)
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
