I've implemented most of the ifconfig functionality via ioctl (for fetching
various network interface informations) and done basic mii-tool implementation.
If I could manage to fetch the device list via kernel interface (like KDE4 does)
knetd will be 100% sysfs dependency free. In fact, it won't depend on anything
but Qt and KDE. Not even external tools such as ifconfig, mii-tool, iwconfig,
ethtool etc. Of course this approach will only do good on linux-2.2+ platforms.
Any device and hotplug implementation can be done for any platform by
subclassing AbstractDevice and AbstractDeviceHotplug tho.

I've started re-implementing all the inner workings of the system. I'm using
ioctl calls to query network interfaces instead of forking ifconfig and
friends. This way it'll be a way much faster and it won't require third
party tools. And I believe will be compatible with any 2.2+ kernels. Let's
see what will happen ;)
