There is code for that in dde, maybe it's just missing an RPC/ioctl link inside libmachdev. > do not have a link/mapping between the /dev/ethN to the ifr_name from > struct ifr, I'm not following you. > 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? I don't really see what would be different between gnumach and netdde in that concern: AIUI inetutils-ifconfig opens a socket and makes ioctl calls on it. So it's discussing with pfinet. Pfinet opens a file-based master port instead of using the mach master port, then uses device_open() etc. exactly as it does when using the Mach driver. So to me it's probably just a missing link somewhere in libmachdev to reach the ioctl-handling code in libdde (libdde_linux26/lib/src/net/core/dev.c).
