- Various cleanups and bug fixes.

- Better error message for ENODEV.

- Proper exit codes for interface printing

- Add safe_strncpy and use it everywhere: this fixes quite a lot of
strncpy bugs (strncpy doesn't add a '\0' when the source string is too
long!)

apparently it's not actually a 1.5Mbps network.

Make `--inet6' do roughly the right thing.
`Activate NETROM sockets' -> `Active NETROM sockets',
ditto for AX.25

headers.

Some other cleanups:
- lib/net-string.c removed because it was not used and had a copyright notice
that conflicted with the GPL.
- Minor cleanups.
- Fix an potential buffer overflow in ax25.
- Switch to CVS $Id$ for versioning consistently

- 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.

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

Preliminary support for IFF_DYNAMIC.

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.
