If I do 

ifconfig -a

I get:

---8<---
we0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	address: 00:00:c0:11:48:2d

	inet 194.139.121.194 --> 194.139.121.193 netmask 0xffffffff 
--->8--

but if I do

ifconfig we0

it only tells me:

---8<---
we0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	media: 10base5/AUI
	inet 194.77.23.161 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.77.23.167
--->8---

Why is the link layer only printed with the -a option? The man page
doesn't mention this...
