This breaks (at least for me :-) userspace (ip link show parsing
scripts). It is easy to solve, so not a big problem. I am using
Ubuntu 14.04.
Is this user visible change intended?
Hi Ulrich,
looking at iproute2 I found this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/commit/ip/ipaddress.c?id=ccdcbf35f120c754660b3b3f48fa67cc950a6407

Due to the fact that the kernel now provides the new attribute we get this
@NONE stuff for interfaces that have no iflink value.
This definitely is @UGLY !
@Nicloas: Why don't you just omit the @NONE when iflink is zero in the new
attribute?
