Bug Description

This is a fast hack to handle multiple ipv4 addresses less horribly. It is still quite horrible, but I do not see any sane way to actually report separate addresses, netmasks and interfaces. I must confess I didn't really looked too hard either. ;-)

This one uses a decade newer tool 'ip', however I'm sure it's not universal, so you possibly want to check for 'ip' and fall back to 'ifconfig' if not available. Right now I'm a bit in hurry (as in the last few decades). If you insist me to write it please tell. ;)

I have tried applying this patch to my 2.1.1 installation, but while the module works, the whole network section is missing as Agent/Backend/OS/Linux/Network/Networks.pm still uses ifconfig and route, which are deprecated in CentOS/RedHat 7 and not included by default:
