Improved IPv6 support
As the IPv6 protocol allows a single device to have more than one IPv6 address,
the previous implementation did not provide all IPv6 information. It would reject
all except the last parsed IPv6 address.
NOTE: This implementation will break the previous API.
This change removes the ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_address and
ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_netmask members. A new member is added,
ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_addresses (in plural). This contains a tupple list
containing of ethtool.etherinfo_ipv6addr objects, one object for each configured
IPv6 address on the device. These objects have the following members available:
.address - The IPv6 address
.netmask - The IPv6 netmask (in bit notation)
.scope - A string with the IPv6 address scope
Example code:
import ethtool
devs = ethtool.get_interfaces_info('eth0')
for ip6 in devs[0].ipv6_addresses:
print "[%s] %s/%i" % (ip6.scope, ip6.address, ip6.netmask)
