Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to do this, but here is how I would find out. What I would do is get the source code for ifconfig and try to determine what it did to get that information I am pretty sure its just a simple ioctl. A hint I can give you is that ioctl's to network devices use an fd of a socket rather than a device file (just read this in the Linux Journal (-;).
