I don't think it is feasible to try and keep the old format, I have finally updated net-tools to what upstream has been doing in the past 10 years.. Is this breaking a package or just your scripts? In any case, I think you should be doing this differently. Either using iproute2 that has a parseable format (although that has changed too), or direcly parsing files in /proc/net -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
