It is not so much a case of not finished, but rather a case of not 
knowing a further interface (sysctlbyname) is needed to access OID_AUTO 
variables. :-)

I have found the code in the FreeBSD file:

   libc/gen/sysctlbyname.c

Maybe this file should be added to the cpukit/libnetwork/libc directory.

I have documented how to do this in the wiki:
