I have Gentoo host where `ifconfig -a` prints long interface names truncated to 9 chars (there is closed bug report [1]).
Unfortunately, `facter` uses `ifconfig -a` output to get list of interface names and because of truncation it generates `interfaces` fact with incorrect interface names. Also it fails to retrieve individual interface information with following message for each interface with name "myinterface": Device "myinterfa" does not exist. myinterfa: error fetching interface information: Device not found [1]: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179920 -- Alex L.
