memset (&ifreq.ifr_hwaddr, 0, sizeof (struct sockaddr));
if (ioctl (sd, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifreq) < 0)
{
msg (M_WARN, "GDG: SIOCGIFHWADDR(%s) failed", ifreq.ifr_name);
goto done;
}
"it failed to get the hardware address for the interface 'lo'"
Now why it wants to do that in the first place is interesting - it tried
to lookup the default gateway, and ended up with something that points
to "lo" as next-hop - which does not have MAC addresses.
Given that this is *Android*, I think the message is just spurious and
has nothing to do whatsoever with the real problem, whatever that might
be - the function in question (get_default_gateway() in route.c) does
not really do "find gateway" on Android, because it lacks the permission
and that is not needed anyway (VPN API).
