Yes, it's understandable for you not to think of that ;)

Weirdly enough, I can't get my ifconfig to output the german version,
but I've seen it often enough. So: use

    ifacestatus=( $(LC_ALL=C ifconfig) )

to reliably get the english version of the output.

Ah, here's a sample how the german version of ifconfig-output looks
like [from http://www.fibel.org/linux/lfo-0.6.0/node476.html ]

Ain't that nice? ;) Now add in what Wong might use (Chinese? Encoded
as what?) Much fun ensues. NOT!

For the rest of the script, much of my other mail seems to apply.
