Title:
  incorrect ifconfig output for unused wired ethernet

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was trying to diagnose network problems on this machine and found that Ubuntu 12.04 will show the following with ifconfig after a little while:
  $ ifconfig eth0
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 1c:75:08:5a:9f:b1
            UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
            RX packets:4294869934 errors:4294383121 dropped:4294772570 overruns:4294869933 frame:4294967295
            TX packets:4294869933 errors:4294577844 dropped:0 overruns:4294869933 carrier:4294967295
            collisions:4294480481 txqueuelen:1000
            RX bytes:4294869934 (4.2 GB)  TX bytes:4294869933 (4.2 GB)
            Interrupt:45

  eth0 is the wired ethernet and is not in use on this machine. The
  machine is only using wlan0. I don't know if the network issues I am
  seeing on the machine relate to this or not. I'm not sure when this
  came up-- -55, -56 and -57 all exhibit the problem (though, -55 seems
  to take a little longer than -57-- I don't have a simple reproducer).
