Found another issue that needs some thought. If type == ALL, in that case the family comes up as AF_INET. That means that if application is doing a request to get netconf it will receive a different answer than if it is montoring for netconf changes.
One way to solve would be to split fill_devconf into two parts, one for unicast, and one for multicast.
