Hi,

I have opened a routing socket and reading from it. When an interface is
configured I get a RTM_NEWADDR message. The bit I'm confused with is the
struct sockaddr associated with RTA_IFA (that I assumed would hold the IP
of the interface) has an sa_family value of AF_IMPLINK. If I cast it to a
struct sockaddr_in then s_addr is 0.

Is this normal? If so can you get the IP of a newly configured
interface from the routing socket?

Thanks,

Andrew
