Just a follow up on this: on Stevens vol 2 pg 117, code line 299, is the implication that the returned buffer DOES hold an array of struct ifreq elements. So this does seem to indicate that something may be broken on FreeBSD. At the very least there is some ambiguity - is this an array of struct ifreq's, or an array of struct ifreq's at 36 byte intervals? Just to add to my confusion, the value returned in ifc_len is 784 - which is neither a multiple of 36, nor a multiple of sizeof(struct ifreq).
