James,

I'm going through the feedback you provided in idm_so.c.  I've
played with the code that skips loopback address while determining
local interfaces and I see an entry named "lo0" that does not have
the IFF_LOOPBACK flag set in the control structure. I was wondering if
we could keep our same algorithm for now of matching the name "lo0"
while filing an RFE to investigate this further. The current code was taken
from the user mode target driver.

thanks,
-jim
