Can you run "strace -o str.log ifconfig -a" and post log file?

When I do it, it works for me. Relevant part of the log is:


socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFCONF, {64, {{"lo", {AF_INET, inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, {"if", {AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.2.100")}}}}) = 0
close(3)                                = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFFLAGS, {ifr_name="if", ifr_flags=IFF_UP|IFF_BROADCAST|IFF_RUNNING|IFF_MULTICAST}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFHWADDR, {ifr_name="if", ifr_hwaddr=00:16:17:6d:77:db}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFMETRIC, {ifr_name="if", ifr_metric=0}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFMTU, {ifr_name="if", ifr_mtu=1500}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFMAP, 0xffe906c0)        = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFTXQLEN, 0xffe906c0)     = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFADDR, {ifr_name="if", ifr_addr={AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.2.100")}}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFDSTADDR, {ifr_name="if", ifr_dstaddr={AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.2.100")}}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFBRDADDR, {ifr_name="if", ifr_broadaddr={AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.2.255")}}) = 0
ioctl(3, SIOCGIFNETMASK, {ifr_name="if", ifr_netmask={AF_INET, inet_addr("255.255.255.0")}}) = 0
close(3)                                = 0
