That will definitely require it's own branch of logic. That code is trying
to do the appropriate ioctl incantation to get the full interface list,
which is very platform specific. BSD/OSX/etc... have their own settings that
I'd happily accept a patch for.  It's a bit of a soft fail, regardless --
ROS by default tries to use the hostname instead of IP address, and the main
purpose of that logic is for generating warnings.
