Bug#312093: netspeed: network interfaces showing up multiple times

[Hans Ulrich Niedermann]

Package: netspeed
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: normal


The "Netspeed Preferences" dialog allows chosing the "Network device"
from a list of devices in a dropdown box. On this system, the same
interface shows up multiple times, and selecting different versions for
the same device makes no noticeable difference.

I suggest getting rid of the multiple interface.

The list it shows here is

lo
lo
eth0
eth0
dummy0
dummy0
dummy0

which coincides with the number of IPv4 addresses on the respective
device:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet 169.254.185.103/16 scope link lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    inet 169.254.28.139/16 scope link eth0
    inet 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue 
    inet 169.254.155.71/16 scope link dummy0
    inet 192.168.1.1/32 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dummy0
    inet 192.168.1.2/32 scope global dummy0
