Bug Description

Today i found a bug with a german de_DE.UTF8 LANG enviroment. This breaks the ip_address script because ifconfig gives me "inet Adresse" and not "inet addr". I solved this for myself by making a backup of my LANG variable setting it to LANG=en_EN and at the end of the script i set my old varbiable back. I think this should be done everytime you expect a special output.

If it is ok for you i could do the patch by myself and upload either a new branch to launchpad or diff files.

I am using Lucid with the latest byobu version from your ppa.
