ef6304d8c6 Replace call to obsolete inet_addr routine with inet_aton so we can specify
netmasks and broadcast addresses of 255.255.255.255.

f7fa522e95 Impliment -ad and -au flags in addition to -a and document the change
in the man page. ifconfig -au affects all interfaces marked as up,
and ifconfig -ad affects only the interfaces marked down. ifconfig -a
still handles everything. This change is purely for compatibility with
SunOS, for those who might be accustomed to the SunOS ifconfig's
behavior.

- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
  handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
  the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
  the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
  people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
  at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
  have it.

- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
  address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
  be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
  from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
  was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
  set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
  address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
  requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
  with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.

794cdf17ef Add parameters "compress", "normal" and "noicmp" for the slip usage.
These names are used in the slip.hosts file as examples, but ifconfig
have formerly only accepted link0, -link0 and link1 for this.

404c1a5fc1 Convert to our man installation style. Also fixed long-standing bug
in `fastboot'/`fasthalt' in which the interpreter would hang around
after `reboot' or `halt' is run, causing an irritating ``Killed'' message.
