opaque ifnet progress

[Anuranjan Shukla]

Hello Gleb,
Thanks for sharing the details.
>From looking at the wiki page it's not exactly clear what your plan is
regarding the accessor functions as they stand today (if_get*/if_set*
after drvapi change was made). I briefly glanced through some of the code
changes but that takes time so it'd be good to know sort of the overall
plan in that area if you foresee major rework.

Thanks
Anu
