This is a patch to sys/net/if.c. What it does is patch the algorithm for finding an IP address on an interface which most closely matches a given IP address. The problem with it is when no address matches, and you have to just pick one at random. Then the code ends up picking the last IP address in the list. This patch changes things so it picks up the first address instead. Usually the first address is more useful as the later ones are aliases.

Add better support for retrieving management information from network

interfaces. This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple recompile is all that's necessary.) I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested in making use of it.

Modify the kernel to use the new pr_usrreqs interface rather than the old

pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example (#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq() to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
