Only if the host OS actually has support for the netcf library that's
required to get the iface-* commands. Otherwise, fixing that bug won't
change the outcome - you would still need netcf to get the iface-*
functions.

As far as I can see, Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have the netcf library
(although I know the Ubuntu guys have been working on patching it). Do
you have their netcf build?
