Android ifconfig vs netcfg

On my Android emulator ifconfig shows nothing.

In order to get all interfaces on your emulator or device you could use netcfg:

# netcfg
lo       UP    127.0.0.1    255.0.0.0    0x00000049
dummy0   DOWN  0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0x00000082
rmnet0   DOWN  0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0x00001002
rmnet1   DOWN  0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0x00001002
rmnet2   DOWN  0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0x00001002
tiwlan0  DOWN  0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0x00001002

Android Platform Web Browser

I'm in shock concerning the internal Android Web Browser.
The investigations show that no one of Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 platform releases don't support a file uploading through HTML form.

Android doesn't have internal file viewer.
It may be a reason.
