- Use an AF_INET socket for SIOCGIFCONF

in net-tools dealing with interfaces, including other address families.

issuing ioctls to a random socket and just
hoping, we do our best to pick the right one
for the address family in use.  This should
fix a bug reported for 1.47 where a command like
"ifconfig eth0 broadcast 1.0.0.255" picked on the
AF_APPLETALK socket and so didn't work.

Quite an invasive fix but hopefully the right one.
Andi, can you take a look since this is stuff you've
been working on recently.

Based on patch from "Stanislav V. Voronyi"
<stas@cnti.uanet.kharkov.ua>

modprobe problem. Only barely tested, more testers (using the more exotic
network protocols) are needed.

Preliminary support for IFF_DYNAMIC.

(Spotted by Andreas Jaeger)

Cosmetic changes to ifconfig.  Fix lots of stuff to
compile properly with glibc2.1.
Fix HIPPI and HDLC/LAPB for new i18n code.

touches virtually every file but the changes are fairly
superficial.

Please check I haven't broken your favourite AF/hardware
type during the conversion.

silly error messages

Add getmask() to aftype structure to generalize.

Fix numerous buffer overruns. net-tools is full of them!
[still many left]

address on the HIPPI NIC's network should be type HIPPI and not Ether.

Fix buffer overflow in route [there are probably more in the nettools]

Allow device argument everywhere on the command line, but only when
it starts with the keyword.

them.

this makes txqueuelen work again, because the code in interface.c was always
omitted.

Fix a few bad typos.
Fix a few warnings.
Change all #ifdef HAVE_... to #if HAVE_... because the config script
uses #define .. 0 for disabled options instead of #undef.
Make atalk functional again (not tested).

weekend - please give it a go and make sure it at least compiles
on your system. :-)
