Okay Jordan: you asked for it, you got it. Enclosed is a patch for
/usr/src/sbin/ifconfig.c in FreeBSD 2.0 to add the following features:

- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
  handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
  the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
  the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
  people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
  at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
  have it.

- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
  address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
  be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
  from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
  was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
  set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
  address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
  requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
  with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.

Here's some sample output on a machine with two ethernet cards, two
SLIP interfaces, two PPP interfaces, and the parallel port IP interface:

# ifconfig -a
ed0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	ether 02:60:8c:a8:27:da 
ed1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 128.59.64.56 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.59.64.255
	ether 02:60:8c:3f:34:65 
lp0: flags=810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 65532
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
ppp0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500
ppp1: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 552
sl1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 552
#

The interfaces are displayed in the order in which SIOCGIFCONF returns them.

Share and enjoy!

-Bill

PS: Jordan, I'll be sending some other stuff your way inder seperate
    cover. :)
