ifconfig is broken. Heck, it does not even display secondary addresses
that don't have labels. Don't use it.
# ip l sh lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
# cat /sys/class/net/lo/address
00:00:00:00:00:00
# cat /sys/class/net/dsl0/address
(no result)
# cat /sys/class/net/tun0/address
(no result)
Result: lo *does* have a MAC address.
