[system-tools] What happened to <addr> in -d list_ifaces in 1.1.4?

[Juan Luis Baptiste <juan baptiste kdemail net>]

Hi,

When upgrading KNetworkConf to gst 1.1.4 I founded with surprise that -d 
list_ifaces doesn't return anymore the IPaddress, broadcast, etc for a given 
interface. Why is this? is there another way to obtain this info? or maybe a 
bug?

This is the output I get from 1.1.4:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE network-ifaces []>

<network-ifaces>

  <interface>
    <dev>lo</dev>
    <enabled>1</enabled>
    <type>loopback</type>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <dev>eth1</dev>
    <enabled>1</enabled>
    <hwaddr>00:09:6B:53:FE:90</hwaddr>
    <type>ethernet</type>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <dev>eth0</dev>
    <enabled>0</enabled>
    <hwaddr>00:05:3C:07:7A:8A</hwaddr>
    <type>wireless</type>
  </interface>

</network-ifaces>

<!-- GST: end of request -->

And this is from 1.1.0:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE network-ifaces []>

<network-ifaces>

  <interface>
    <active>0</active>
    <dev>sit0</dev>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <active>1</active>
    <addr>127.0.0.1</addr>
    <dev>lo</dev>
    <mask>255.0.0.0</mask>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <active>1</active>
    <addr>192.168.1.2</addr>
    <bcast>192.168.1.255</bcast>
    <dev>eth1</dev>
    <hwaddr>00:09:6B:53:FE:90</hwaddr>
    <mask>255.255.255.0</mask>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <active>0</active>
    <dev>eth0</dev>
    <hwaddr>00:05:3C:07:7A:8A</hwaddr>
  </interface>

</network-ifaces>

I use -d list_ifaces to get the IP address of dhcp interfaces as --get doesn't 
return it for this type of interfaces, so now I can't do it.

I'm using Mandrake 10.1 official.
