I used the following program to obtain mac address and ip of network
adpaters. It works fine with 1.5 but not with 1.7.

Output with 1.5:
sock=3D3
trying eth0
mac: 00.1f.3c.57.XX.XX, ip: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
trying eth1
mac: 00.1d.09.df.XX.XX, ip: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
trying eth2
mac: 08.00.27.00.XX.XX, ip: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
trying eth3
...

Output with 1.7:
sock=3D3
trying eth0
trying eth1
trying eth2
trying eth3
...

Any clue?
