Notes
(0000856) vapier 01-05-06 17:19	the code in uClibc is correct ... the issue is that we're using the older style of asking the kernel for interface information via ioctl's ... the kernel doesnt export all the interfaces via that method anymore we would have to add the newer method of querying via netlink to get all of the interfaces

(0000862) vapier 01-05-06 20:58	svn now has an option, UCLIBC_USE_NETLINK, which should fix this issue
