Reverse christmass tree.. this line should be the last in variable
declarations.

This may be problematic. Why strncpy here?

a->ops->kind is also of size IFNAMSIZ. If a->ops->kind is actually
IFNAMSIZ-1 long, kind here won't be NULL terminated, as kind is not
initialized and strncpy won't add the NULL.
