Summary: Virtual interfaces support in Linux

Initial Comment:
This patch adds support for virtual interfaces (like 
eth0:1) to Linux agent. Idea of how to get list of all 
interfaces, not only listed in /proc/net/dev was taken 
from ifconfig source. Patch is for version 4.2.2

How to apply:
Copy file linux_virtual_if.patch to the 
<source_root>/agent/mibgroup/mibII directory and run
patch -p0 < linux_virtual_if.patch
It should patch two files: interface h and interface.c

Known limitations:
You will not see any interface statistic for the 
virtual interfaces - all counters will be zero. 
Probably it's logical :)

I test it on my boxes with 2.2.x kernels - works fine. 
Don't know about other kernel version - if someone can 
test, it will be nice.
