I've not checked the details of the new netdde stuff, but I'm assuming this does not work currently because the SIOC[GS]IF family of ioctls (also assuming they are supported by netdde) do not have a link/mapping between the /dev/ethN to the ifr_name from struct ifr, if so wouldn't it be better to hide this fact in glibc so that not every and each program doing low-level network setup needs to be adapted? regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
