When we read interface flags and capabilities from the kernel, take
care not to record them in our current environment (env), but record
them in the output environment (oenv), instead. This helps us get
interface capabilities and flags right.
to support IPv6 as well as IPv4 (a work in progress).
Make the second argument of af_status() a bool instead of an int.
Exit early with an error if the operator specifies an unsupported
address family on the command line. The change should help rc
scripts to detect that IPv6 support is missing from the kernel,
with 'ifconfig lo0 inet6'.
Start using prop_dictionary_util(3).
improved modularity and extensibility.
In the new architecture, a directed graph of argument-matching
objects (match objects) expresses the set of feasible ifconfig
statements. Match objects are labelled by subroutines that provide
the statement semantics.
Many IPv4, IPv6, 802.11, tunnel, and media configurations have been
tested.
AppleTalk, ISO, carp(4), agr(4), and vlan(4) configuration need
testing.
