+ * Description:

+ *   arbitrarily returns the first UP device at the head of the device
+ *   list.  Perhaps the default device should be a device name
+ *   configuration option?
+ *
+ *   So why is this here:  It represents my current though for what to do
+ *   if a socket is connected with INADDY_ANY.  In this case, I suppose we
+ *   should use the IP address associated with some default device???
+ *
+ * Parameters:
+ *   NULL
+ *
+ * Returned Value:
+ *  Pointer to default network driver on success; null on failure
+ *
+ * Assumptions:
+ *  Called from normal user mode
