Now, that's really odd.  If I take that output, store it in a file and
pass it to Thomas' modified filter:

> +    netdevices_up=$(ip link show up | grep "^[1-9$].*LOWER_UP" | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | grep -v "^lo" | sort | uniq)

I get 'eth0' _only_, but if I use the old version of that line:

> -    netdevices_up=$(ip link show up | grep "^[1-9$]" | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | grep -v "^lo" | sort | uniq)

I get 'eth0
eth1'

which makes me think you're still using the old version.


Cheers,
