For clone create and rename operations, the interface name get back can be

In certain setups (e.g., autonomous APs) it is extremly helpful to have
a way to map the BSSIDs to names for both normal status output as well
as the scan list. This often allows a quicker overview than remembering
(or manually looking up) BSSIDs.
Call ether_ntohost() on the bssid and consult /etc/ethers
and print "(name)" after the bssid for the status output and "(name)"
at the end of the line after the IE list.

This reverts commit 2c24ad3377.
This change causes some commands to fail, for example when working with

If "ifconfig create" tries to load a kernel module, and the module
exists but can't be loaded, fail the command with a useful error
message. This is helpful, for example, when trying to create a cloned
interface in a vnet jail. But ignore ENOENT, because sometimes ifconfig
can't correctly guess the name of the required kernel module.

Work is ongoing to add support for pfsync over IPv6. This required some
changes to allow for differentiating between the two families in a more
generic way.
This patch converts the relevant ioctls to using nvlists, making future
extensions (such as supporting IPv6 addresses) easier.

We have repeatedly gotten reports of unclassified SIOCIFCREATE2 errors
(usually "Device not configured"). This can happen if there is
configuration for interfaces in rc.conf which do not (yet) exist and
we try to configure. I can, e.g., provoke this by configuring wlan
interfaces with their physical interface not installed.
In order to cut support (guesswork) down print the name of the
interface to be configured with the error message.
Hopefully this will help us in the future to improve other configuration
or driver problems.

The setvlantag() and setvlanproto() functions are used in two scenarios:
when we create a new vlan interface and when we update an existing
interface.
These are distinguished by the getvlan() at the end of the functions. If
this fails we assume that is because the interface doesn't exist (so
we're creating a new one). We only update the 'params' struct, and
expect the settings to be applied when we vlan_create().
However, if we're updating an existing interface we do not retrieve the
current settings, and can end up invalidating settings.
Fix this by using the settings we retrieved while checking which
scenario we're in.
Note that we do not address this for setvlandev(), because if_vlan does
not allow the vlan parent device to be changed without disassociating it
first (with ifconfig vlanX -vlandev).

Replace ppp(4) removed since FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE with vlan(4).
While here, remove commented out reference to non-existing "egress"
interface group hiding since initial import of interface groups
from OpenBSD in 2006.
Provide sticky ARP flag for network interface which marks it as the
"sticky" one similarly to what we have for bridges. Once interface is
marked sticky, any address resolved using the ARP will be saved as a
static one in the ARP table. Such functionality may be used to prevent
ARP spoofing or to decrease latencies in Ethernet networks.
The drawbacks include potential limitations in usage of ARP-based
load-balancers and high-availability solutions such as carp(4).
The implemented option is disabled by default, therefore should not
impact the default behaviour of the networking stack.
