SIOCSIFADDR with AF_LINK

[Sean Boudreau]

Hi:

Is this supposed to work? I see that ether_ioctl
(for example) has been switched to the new
if_set_sadl() but I see no way that this code can
be tickled. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

That was step 1 of N. :-/ I added if_set_sadl(), I started to clean up
the mess that is network-interface ioctls, and then I got side-tracked.
I will look at it again, tonight.

I have finished the kernel part and tested with a tiny utility that I
wrote for the purpose. I will send patches later today.

I haven't touched ifconfig(8), yet. I still feel a bit dizzy after
looking at the source the other night.

Here are the kernel patches, and a test program,

Those look OK and work well for me.

Good to hear it! I will commit the kernel part just as soon as I work
up the courage to update my -current sources. :-) I hope to work on
the requisite ifconfig(8) changes, today, if I can wrap up my gre(4)
repairs in time.
