ioctl() is defined in posix/unistd.h, and therefore, you can expect to
find it in the tree in src/system/libroot/posix/unistd/ioctl.c - but
you don't need this function as all what it does is to forward the
request to the underlying device. The networking stack is implemented
as a kernel device.
Maybe you should contact Philippe first, because he can definitely tell
you how to do this properly.
