link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
=2E.. oops, how do I change/list the device parameters with
iwonfig/iwlist (I know dummy0 is not a wireless device, but I let's
neglect this for now, OK)?
# iwconfig -- --help
Error : unrecognised wireless request "--help"
# iwlist -- --help
iwlist: unknown command `--help'
-- both interpret `--' as a normal interface name.
The problem is more severe then it seems at the first glance: At the
very moment, I'm trying to write a portable script that will check for a
device of a given name being present on a system. The admin could have
set the device name to virtually anything, using ip(8), but ip isn't
present on most systems, and in fact it could have been removed after
the device name change, even on this system. I have no way at all to
access this device, from a shell script.
Note ifconfig has exactly the same problem (which makes things worse).
