Hi,

There is one ifaddr structure whose address & netmask pointers are initial;ized to two sockaddr_dl structures. One of the structures stores a string formed from interface name(ifp->if_name) & interface unit(ifp->if_unit) & the  hardware address. the other sockaddr_dl structure stores a mask based on a string formed from the interface name & interface unit.

can anybody mail me what is the use of the above initialization & where(in which) module the above initialization is used.

regards
ravi prasad
