Using the SIOCGCONF ioctl to get the interfaces on a Sun running 3.x
returns a phantom third interface, "ip0", which can be queried with the
ifconfig program:
$ ifconfig ip0
ip0: 0.0.0.0 flags=0<>
This seems to be created in the ip_init() routine in ip_input.c. Does
anybody have any idea why? Neither SunOS 4.0 or 4.3 bsd do this. Is it a
4.2 relic?
