Description

Hi All,

On AIX, failed to get the network interface information (name, IP, mac and so on) correctly.

The java code actually invoke the native code in netif.c.

I notice that in harmony truck, in netif.c Java_java_net_NetworkInterface_getNetworkInterfacesImpl() simply invoke the portlib API hysock_get_network_interfaces() to get network interface infomation.
But in java6 branch according to JIRA 4155, netif.c was modified and added some API for java6.

The question is why in java6 branch, netif.c has its own implementation to get the network interface information instead of invoking the portlib code?

I think it should invoke the portlib to make the similar code in only one place.

Any comments?
