Hey everyone

I'm looking into implementing the SIOCGENADDR request for ioctl(2) and 
thought of checking for more info here.

The reasons for implementing SIOCGENADDR are, in no specific order:
  (a) get an interface's MAC address faster than taking the SIOCGARP way
  (b) provide a way for a non-privileged user to get it
  (c) interoperability with other systems (Linux, BSD,.. implement 
either SIOCGENADDR or equivalent)

There are a couple of RFEs relating to this, specifically 
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=4720634

I'd like to run a couple of ideas by someone more experienced with 
ip_ic.c and this sort of thing. Anyone ?

thanks
Rafael
