Re: backslashes in ifconfig.xxN

I "fixed" what I saw as incorrect and
undocumented additional levels of parsing, by using "read -r" instead
of just "read", and by careful quoting.

Yes, this bug is fun:)
There abound cases where insufficient quoting leads to bugs but reverse cases where quoting seems excessive and leads to bug are much rare.
