How to read all network cards with java

I want to lookup in my system (using java) for all network cards and network interfaces. So, more exactly, I want to get the whole output from ifconfig command (in Linux) but in Java. I know if I use NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces() will return only configured network interfaces.

A rough approach I found at this link. It is OK, but I'm interested if there are other possibilities on this.

You can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ipconfig") for Windows and Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ifconfig") for linux to get ifconfig result in java

There is no way to get to the gory details here in 100% Java. You can either execute commands or write JNI.
