The man page for bpf(4) says:
STANDARD IOCTLS
bpf now supports several standard ioctl(2)'s which allow the user to do
async and/or non-blocking I/O to an open file descriptor.
...
SIOCGIFADDR (struct ifreq)
Returns the address associated with the interface.
There's no evidence in the code (1.5 and -current) to support this, and
ioctl(bpf_dev, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifreq) returns EINVAL (on 1.5 at least). There
*is* code to support the rest of the calls listed under that heading. Either
the code or the doc is wrong, anybody know which?
