Patch: Fix command line argument parser
Fixed this for upstream. The attached patch fixes this issue.
commit a45819ecb5580aeeb09c6c2201929257f5d311d2
Author: David Sommerseth <davids>

Make pifconfig respect interface arguments from the command line
pifconfig did not pay attention to any arguments give on the command
line, which should only list selected devices. This patch revamps the
argument parsing, to behave as described in usage and man page.
