Hi Jiri,

Thanks for you reminding.

Although I think a blank line won't have much influence for most of strong
scripts, it MAY break some. But the output will be more readable. I think that
worth it.

Yes, this function works great. But for administrators who have lots of systems
and NICs, it's hard to add the function/alias on each system. And the output
of ifconfig, which is still used by lots of admins, looks clearly. So why
don't we also use it?
