    I am having some problem that I don't understand with ifconfig:

    tony@debian:~$ /sbin/ifconfig
    : error fetching interface information: Device not found

    However,

    tony@debian:~$ /sbin/ifconfig eth1
    eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:09:86:ED
              inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
              UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
              RX packets:26802 errors:22859 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:8332 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2
              collisions:0
              RX bytes:14273909 (13.6 MiB) TX bytes:1214357 (1.1 MiB)

    I am under the understanding that ifconfig when given without additional
    parametrs should show the configuration for all devices. What could be
    wrong?
    Thanks.
