i guess this is pedantic but, yes it does mean the device is bound
into the namespace and in most cases you can send and receive
raw ethernet frames.

i've attached an overly-complicated program which prints out the
ip configuration by interface.  output is like so:

	; ipifc
	0:/net/ether0 	00a0c973fa3f	1514
		205.185.197.2/120	205.185.197.0
	0:/net.alt/ether1 	000102ed3163	1514
		65.14.39.132/123	65.14.39.128

the first line is the ipifc index, a ':', the mountpoint, mac and mtu.
subsequent indented lines are  address, a '/', netmask and
network for each configured address.  you can get the same
information with

	; cat cat /net*/ipifc/?/status>[2=]

but it's a lot harder to read. ;-)
