The fact was that I found easier to add that feature directly in C than parsing ifconfig output using a script (I actually didn't found an easy way to get such information using another way). The other aspect is that this allow to ease such a configuration using a simple hardstatus "%I", which is easier than rewriting a complete script to do the same thing. Berry Octave
