Im not certain exactly what the issue is, but in tracking down a porting
problem I discovered the following, which was NOT the case in previous
versions. It seems wrong to me.

if you call if_up() from a driver before running ifconfig on a PTP interface 
ifconfig will fail to add the destination address with EEXIST. However the
address is not in the routing table. Its pretty messy stuff, so I havent
gone further than eliminating the if_up call from our driver at init time
(and 
I dont intend to go further), but something may be amuck so if anyone knows
what changed it might be worth thinking about.
