I've finaly found time to look at this. I haven't tried 4.x yet, but under current get_ifi_info is failing for me. Since the results returned by get_ifi_info are a subset of those returned by getifaddrs, I'm planning to reimplement get_ifi_info in terms of getifaddrs. getifaddrs isn't a perfect API, but it provides what we need and at least the BSDs all implement it. It hides the details you need to get all that information which is all to the good. I've had the misfortune to have to have to hack on the kernel side of of some of them and badly designed doesn't even begin to cover it. The one annoying issue that's tripping me up is modifying configure.in. Could you roll a new snapshot with a test for get getifaddrs in it? -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
