Hello,
I've made several things:
1. Add a simple "rt_ifmsg(ifp)" function call inside
/dev/wi/if_wi.c, at function: wi_update_stats
(FreeBSD-4.9)
2. Then I try to get those notifications with the small program that follows,
but I can not get anything.
Where could the problem be ?
Thanks a lot!

struct if_msghdr msg;

main ()
{
int len, s, i, wi_index;
struct if_nameindex *ifnames;
time_t t;
s = socket(PF_ROUTE, SOCK_RAW, 0);
start:
msg.ifm_type = RTM_IFINFO;
msg.ifm_version = RTM_VERSION;
ifnames = if_nameindex();
i=0;
while( ifnames[i].if_index != NULL ) {
printf("index: %d, name %s\n", ifnames[i].if_index,
ifnames[i].if_name );
if( strcmp("wi0", ifnames[i].if_name ) == 0 )
wi_index = ifnames[i].if_index;
i++;
}
if_freenameindex( ifnames );
do {
if( (len = read(s, (char *)&msg, sizeof(msg))) < 0 ) {
err(1, "reading from routing socket");
return -1;
}
} while ( (msg.ifm_type != RTM_IFINFO) || (msg.ifm_index != wi_index) );
t= time( NULL );
printf("notification time: %s", ctime(&t) );
goto start;
/* never reached */
return 0;
}
