Which kernel are you using? I'm not sure this is inmediately useful. In my system (using linux kernel 2.6.32) the 'operstate' value does not return any useful value: $ for i in /sys/class/net/*/operstate; do echo -n "$i: "; cat $i; done /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate: unknown /sys/class/net/eth1/operstate: unknown /sys/class/net/lo/operstate: unknown /sys/class/net/vmnet1/operstate: unknown /sys/class/net/vmnet8/operstate: unknown I could use the 'ip link show' command although its output could be translatable too. Maybe just setting LC_ALL=C before running ifconfig would be enough. Regards Javier
