You can, but what ioctl should it issue? Do we invent a new ioctl or property just to probe if the device has MC_SETPROP/MC_GETPROP? One possibility is to just link libdladm into ndd and do a get_linkprop e.g., see http://zhadum.east/export/ws/sowmini/brussels/nddcompatchild/webrev where I tried playing with this. But this is going to break any script that parses the output of ndd (I've fprintf'ed to stderr, but I'm not sure that covers every case). --Sowmini
