lshw -xml output invalid

[Mike Neiderhauser]

running the command ("lshw -xml -C network >out.xml") in terminal does not produce a valid xml document if more than 1 networking adapter is present.

you get something like

--------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<node>
  <other elements>
</node>

<node>
  <other elements>
</node>
-------------------------------------------------------

running this xml file through a xml parser (such as a xml dom parser in MONO) throws an exception saying that you cannot have more than one top level element. In this case 2 node elements. If my understanding of XML is correct, there needs to be some type of root wrapper around the node elements to make this a vaild document.

The output should be something like...
--------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<MY_ROOT>
  <node>
    <other elements>
  </node>

  <node>
    <other elements>
  </node>
</MY_ROOT>
-------------------------------------------------------

where the MY ROOT element was added as a single top level of the document

Can someone else verify this? I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

If this is an issue how can we go about fixing it?

Thanks all
