Hello,
The kernel will automatically configure the loopback device, especially,
add 127.0.0.1 and ::1 address. This is detected with the IFF_LOOPBACK flag.
In *some* cases, it would be statically determine the Phonet address of a
device, but I wonder how to pass the information from the net_device driver
to the stack... Would a device ioctl() be appropriate? Or is the whole
thing just a bad idea? Or something else?
