A whole pile of fixes from Bernd, plus a fix for an arp
problem reported by Klaus Kudielka <kudielka@ieee.org>. Also an ifconfig patch for alias deletion from Roman Sulzhyk <roman@staff.prodigy.com>. I'm not too happy with this one but I put it in anyway. Andi, see what you think (look at ifconfig.c about line 1100). Is there really no better way to delete an alias?
