Summary: ifconfig is missing IPv6 address for interfaces with
ifindex > 255
Description:
When running 'ifconfig' it will not show any IPv6 addresses for
interfaces that have an ifindex > 255.
Because the kernel will increment the ifindex every time an interface
is added or removed, it is not necessary to have 256 interfaces at
once, just creating 256 interfaces since system boot and they will no
longer show IPv6 addresses.
This is due to an improper fscanf() maximum range argument. Patch
(against busybox-1.6.1) to fix the problem is attached.
