A quick followup: to get the MAC address of a specific interface, you
find it by searching for the interface in the list, and then looking
for addresses with sa_family==AF_LINK.

Hello all!
I am using ioctl and OSIOCGIFCONF to obtain a list of all the
interfaces installed on the system. I'm able to obtain information
like the local address, subnet mask, broadcast address, etc. But I'm
having a hard time with the MAC address. The reason I am using ioctl
to do this is because I'm cross-compiling to Linux and would like to
keep the code-base the same (just use a bridge to make sure the
function pointers are all correct, hence the reason you'll see
v_foobar in any of my code samples).
