Thanks for picking up this long-neglected effort.

One comment, let's make sure that documentation gets updated as we go
- right now ifnet(9) documents struct ifnet's internals and makes no
reference to any of the accessor functions. The man page likely needs
significant work at some point as it's already quite long, but we
should at least mention that direct access to ifnet internals is
undesired, and list the accessors.
