Do you need sudo for that (would I get something else here if I was
root)?
(I tried as root and cannot distinguish between the two outputs but won't paste that
here so as to not beat the thing over the head too hard.)
curty@einstein:~$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether c8:9c:dc:6f:d3:11 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
