[LiSA-Devel] Get interface name

[Claudiu Ghioc]

Hello,

I have some trouble retrieving an interface's name based on its index.
In if_add (in the "bridge" and "8021q" implementation) I have to add
the interface to the default bridge ("vlan1") and I need the name of
the interface. I used the existing function if_get_name(from
lib/if_generic.h) with different kind of sockets. I tried
"socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);" and "socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,
0);" and it still returns null. I found that any kind of socket would
suffice. The LiSA implementation used the PF_SWITCH socket. Any idea?

Thank you!
