Symptoms:
	PHNE_24866:
	ifconfig(1M) does not allow loopback interface to
	be configured with an alias address (lo0:1).
	When attempted, ifconfig displays error message "all
	secondaries for lo0 must be downed before changing
	attributes" and the application terminates.

	PHNE_20194:
	ifconfig(1M) does not allow multiple aliases for an
	interface to be marked UP.  Therefore, VV4.0 Hardware
	Virtual Servers can not be configured.

Defect Description:
	PHNE_24866:
	ifconfig(1M) does not correctly parse the devassign
	file entry for lo0 containing an SL of WILDCARD.
	Note that the primary lo0 configuration is not affected
	by this problem, only secondaries.

	Resolution:
	ifconfig(1M) now handles WILDCARD SL entries in the
	devassign file.

	PHNE_20194:
	ifconfig(1M) does not allow multiple aliases for an
	interface to be marked UP.  ifconfig uses the
	SPIOC_GET_NIC_FLAG ioctl to determine if the HOSTILE
	flag is being modified.  ifconfig was misinterpreting
	the return from the ioctl and determined that the
	HOSTILE marking was being modified when it fact it was
	not.

	Resolution:
	Correct the interpretation of the return value received
	from the SPIOC_GET_NIC_FLAG ioctl.
