Works:

6857  open("/sys/class/net",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 13
6857  fstat64(13, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
6857  fcntl64(13, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)  = 0
6857  getdents64(13, /* 5 entries */, 4096) = 120
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth1", 0x80a2450, 256) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth1/device",
"../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:02.0", 256) = 53
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/lo", 0x80a2450, 256) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/lo/device", 0x80a2450, 256) = -1 ENOENT
(No such
file or directory)
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth0", 0x80a2450, 256) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
6857  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth0/device",
"../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0", 256) = 53
6857  getdents64(13, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0
6857  close(13)                         = 0

Breaks:

3620  open("/sys/class/net",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 13
3620  fstat64(13, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
3620  fcntl64(13, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)  = 0
3620  getdents64(13, /* 5 entries */, 4096) = 120
3620  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth1",
"../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/00\00:02:02.0/eth1", 256) = 55
3620
readlink("/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:02.0/eth1/device",
0x809e910, 256) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
3620  readlink("/sys/class/net/lo", "../../devices/virtual/net/lo",
256) = 28
3620  readlink("/sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/device", 0x809e960, 256) =
-1 ENOEN\T (No such file or directory)
3620  readlink("/sys/class/net/eth0",
"../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/00\00:02:01.0/eth0", 256) = 55
3620
