Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: <6563453E.51E00C87.9513E96F@netscape.net> X-Mailer: Franklin Webmailer 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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 __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
