'-W' is marginally better, but in reality "wider" is only really 2
characters wider:

[firewall2.cpt1] ~ $ netstat -iWI vlan2001_vrrp
Name      Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
vlan200  1500 <Link#15>                              1     0  2699257     1     0
vlan200  1500 xxx.xx.xx.xx/ xxx.xx.xx.xx        182642     -        0     -     -

It will help Barney, but it doesn't always help.

This patch helps my situation for the '-i' case:
