Thank you Alan and Brennan for welcoming me to the community and for your
prompt response. Sure, I shall get in touch with Petro to understand the
current state of development of the Ethernet driver on BBB and if I can
help in any way.

I specifically asked for ifconfig because I wanted to test my changes for
https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/issues/1883. Is there any other
way to build and/or test my changes for the issue # 1883 as I don't have
necessary hardware platform(s)?

Sincerely,
Subhra Sankha Sarkar
