[Mono-dev] System.Net.NetworkInformation

I tried to use System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPInterfaceProperties.GetIPProperties(). It looks like it's not implemented. I'd certainly be willing to lend a hand here, but I have a question... In NetworkInterface.cs there's this comment:
 
        //
        // This class needs support from the libsupport.so library to fetch the
        // data using arch-specific ioctls.
        //

 
In the code that follows, there's direct access to sysfs -- see the implementation for GetAllNetworkInterfaces() in NetworkInterface.cs. It seems sysfs has a lot (possibly all) the information needed to implement the missing classes required for GetIPProperties() to work. What's the direction here? As far as I know, sysfs is a Linux-only thing.
