Network Device:
I've scaled back the APIs on this to have the interface's name and mac
address (if one is present). The APIs it would present include methods
to configure and destroy the device, start and stop the device, and
return the NetCF descriptor.
Some additional notes here. NetCF isn't available on Windows, so I think
this is the wrong direction to go for networking. Instead, more explicit
APIs for configuration and management are in order. I'm redoing the APIs
to have methods to add and remove IPv4 addresses, and to add and remove
DNS entries.
For future work, we'll have to think about how to define a bridge, how
to bond devices, etc.
Thoughts?
