Something that isn't clear to me - do you know (Mark for Linux, Dave or
someone else for FreeBSD) whether it is reasonable to assume the
ifr_name if the struct ifreq will be NUL terminated? I know that the
name in a struct sockaddr_dl is not necessarily so terminated, but for
the ifr_name field, if it isn't NUL terminated this could get really
messy.
