This is what a normal "lo" looks like:

$ /sbin/ifconfig lo
lo      Link encap:Local Loopback
        inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
        UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

        TX packets:31642498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
        collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
        RX bytes:2412380672 (2.2 GiB)  TX bytes:2412380672 (2.2 GiB)
