More about e2fsprogs. Now from the pkgsrc. There is a same bug as here:

Is it correct to expect ifr_hwaddr member in ifreq structure if
SIOCGIFHWADDR defined?
It might be correct on some platforms. It wouldn't be correct on
OpenIndiana, because it doesn't exist on that one. In other words, the
application needs to be ported.
I believe that ioctl only works on PF_PACKET sockets, and requires the
use of sockaddr_ll. See:
http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/232/pfp-psarc.txt
What solution would be correct?
1. Check it in the "configure" stage:
if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS" then #undef SIOCGIFHWADDR in config.h
In this case the software developers must do it in the "configure" script.
2. Remove the SIOCGIFHWADDR definition from Illumos/OI headers while it
don't work.
In this case Illumos/OI developers must correct header files.
P.S. I can't understand, why e2fsprogs want any network-related
headers... Of course, this question is for e2fsprogs developers.
