 Note that while the patch supplied makes (a NetBSD 5) "ifconfig -l" work,
 (and also makes NetBSD 5 "route -d monitor" work, or at least not do
 nothing ... note, the "-d" causes this to be completely different than
 "route monitor") it is not sufficient to make NetBSD 5 ifconfig work
 comnpletely (not even just to display interface status).
 
 Some of the info from the interface is available, and all interfaces
 are located (or so it seems) but no IP addresses (v4 or v6) are listed.
 link layer addresses are, as are capabilities, and the interface
 header line (the one that contains flags, UP, mtu, ...)
 
 I shall continue looking...
