SIOCGIFCONF still not working

Some time ago it was reported here the SIOCGIFCONF is not working and
I thing Davem said he'll fix it. Well, I have 2.3.14 and it still
does not work. A few functions, and soon more, in glibc depend on
this.

The symptoms are that only one interfaec is reported. You call

struct ifconf ifc;
ifc.ifc_buf = NULL;
ifc.ifc_len = 0;
ioctl (fd, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc);

where fd is an open socket and you get in ifc_len the result 12 (which
means, room for exactly one ifconf entry).

Could somebody please look at this? I really want to finish the IPv6
support.

Thanks,
