Where is the configuration stored? How would you configure an interface manually so that it ends up with that configuration on the next system boot? That's the information you should be outputting for ncf_if_xml_desc() (i.e. the non-live version of ncftool dumpxml). The "--live" means "show me what is the live settings in the kernel right now").
