Looking at src/sys/net/if_var.h should make it clear that this is a feature since 'struct if_data' is hung off of 'struct ifnet' and not off of 'struct ifaddrhead' (ifaddr). Moving 'struct if_data' from 'struct ifnet' to 'struct ifaddr' is left as an exercise for the reader. Keep in mind that it would probably be good to leave a 'struct if_data' in 'struct ifnet' for compatibility. -- | Matthew N.
