Looking at the gentoo response in the ticket, the decision to maintain the
interface truncation looks pretty final. Regardless of this, supporting
iproute2 should be a priority, since I've heard of minimal arch installs
that don't include net-tools at all and we can expect the trend towards
iproute
All,
I put in a request to have the gentoo bug reopened and see if we can
apply the same patch that the other distributions used.
Thanks,
Matt

I think this gives a little weight to this ticket for Facter then:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1346
Although - I don't see a 9 char limitation on Debian Wheezy. Not sure
where that patch came from though. I wonder how many other distros
suffer from this.
Of slightly related interest -
