Sure. I think you did the same for ifr_index.

Niet.
- Walking ifreq to discover the interface was off, neutrino
  provided sa_len but did not have an SA_LEN() macro 8)
- We do not deal with aliases
- We do not deal with family i.e. should we
  accept only AF_INET family?
etc ..

I was going to provide a patch but got distracted by soccer 8)
we kicked Alcatel/Newbridge arss(or was it Nortel or Cisco ?)
