Hey all

I've noticed that calling SIOCGIFADDR on an IPv6 socket to get the
interface address always returns EINVAL. Would a patch to implement that
feature be accepted?

As far as I can see, it wasn't implemented in the USAGI tree because a
struct ifreq couldn't fit an IPv6 address. However, the current kernel
IPv6 has the struct in6_ifreq to support SIOCSIFADDR, which fixes that
problem.

Cheers
