o break per-address family support out into separate files
o modularize per-address family and functional operations using
a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according
to which files you include (but beware that order of the files
is important to insure backwards compatibility)
o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables,
and poor coding practices (still much more to fix)
The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition
of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various
little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig
plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be
completed.
o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some
of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different
program
name.
Prevent the kernel from potentially overflowing the interface name
variable. The size argument of strlcpy is complex because the name is
not null-terminated in sdl_data.

potential for confusion remains further in other areas of the
system regarding Message Authentication Codes (MAC).

kernel, this does not change the behavior of ifconfig.

printed on a single, very long, and generally unreadable line. This
isn't very useful. It's also really ugly and most of the time you don't
care what media is supported anyway.

despite the fact that most people want to set exactly the same settings
regardless of which card they have. It has been repeatidly suggested
that this configuration should be done via ifconfig. This patch
implements the required functionality in ifconfig and add support to the
wi and an drivers. It also provides partial, untested support for the
awi driver.

a subroutine and other revolting things like that. Move some more
globals into local variables.

most obvious case.. "ifconfig ed0 10.0.0.1" failed (no "inet")
