I really appreciate your reply. Your suggestion fixed that
problem, however, a new error appeared. I am doing some
research to try to figure it out but no luck so far.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ifaces.py", line 33, in <module>
ifs = all_interfaces()
File "./ifaces.py", line 21, in all_interfaces
name = namestr[i:i+16].split('\0', 1)[0]
