SIOCGIFCONF at DEC UNIX is: 0xc0106914
SIOCGIFCONF at Linux is: 0x00008912
At Linux for SPARC there is a compability layer for these, but
no such exist for Alpha. You could try to make it.
Doing an strace might tell, if I am mistaken, but also, what
file type that queried file descriptor is. (Not every file-
descriptor can do SIOCGIFCONF.)
