Package: moreutils
Version: 0.17
Severity: normal


Logged on now, via the modem, and 'ppp0' DL'ing stuff...
during which:

    # show hardware address of NIC
    % ifdata -ph eth0 ; echo $?
    00:08:C7:C9:17:A9
    0

...good so far, but:

    # for the modem?
    % ifdata -ph ppp0 ; echo $?
    00:00:00:00:00:00
    0
    # loopback?
    % ifdata -ph lo ; echo $?
    00:00:00:00:00:00
    0

...the output for 'ppp0' and 'lo' seems mistaken, neither interface
has an Ethernet address; even if they had, they wouldn't share the
same address.  And the error code shouldn't be '0'. 

'man ifdata' on '-ph':

    % man ifdata | grep -n \\\-ph
    27:       -ph    Prints the hardware address of the interface.

...is too general.  Suggested revision:

        -ph     Prints the hardware address of an ethernet interface, e.g. 
'eth0', 'eth1', etc.

It would be better if 'ifdata' returned an error code and message that
goes something like:

    % ifdata -ph ppp0 ; echo $?
    ifdata:  '-ph' switch error:  'ppp0' interface is not a hardware ethernet 
card.

Hope this helps...
