unknown symbol `if_nametoindex'

[endgame]

I'm having trouble using network-3.0.1.0 on Win10 Home 10.0.17134 Build 17134 on a student's machine.
I'm using Haskell Platform Core 8.2.2, and it fails with errors about "unknown symbol if_nametoindex".

It's possible that this is fixed in more recent versions of the Haskell Platform (more recent MinGW/MSYS?), but we are currently stuck with 8.2.2 for this iteration of the course (matching the installed GHC on lab machines).

This has been documented elsewhere
haskell/haskell-platform#318 (comment)
#361

I am currently working on test coverage here:
https://github.com/haskell/network/tree/eborden/add-loopback-tests-for-if-index

We will either add the necessary windows handling or disable this function for windows environments.

This has been fixed on master and will go out in the next release.
