Description (last modified by )
BNetworkInterfaceAddress needs to store auto-configuration flags instead of BNetworkInterface.
see the following for an example...
How would you disable either IPv6 *or* IPv4 auto-configuration when the auto-configure flag is only set on the interface?
Scenario:
- I have a blank IPv6 address and a dhcp acquired IPv4 addr.
- I check auto-configure flag for interface
- I from that view... the IPv6 address could be either "configuring" or "None" (configured for no address)
The same situation applies when IPv6 is swapped with IPv4

I've already defined the flags in net/if.h, and there is a field in ifaliasreq already, too - they are just not maintained yet (they need to be stored in the stack's InterfaceAddress as well), and not forwarded to BNetworkInterfaceAddress either.
Someone just needs to implement it - it shouldn't be too hard either :-)
