Andres Rodriguez (andreserl) wrote : ifconfig -s (or -a -s) doesn't output the full name of the interface

When executing ifconfig, it outputs the whole 10 characters of the interface name. However, when using ifconfig -s (or ifconfig -a -s) it doesn't include all the name of the interface (or 10+ characters). Instead, it outputs only 8 characters of the interface.
