Wouldn't it be less funky to accept that IFNAMSIZE isn't defined in if.h, but rather in hdlc/ioctl.h? If now someone feels giddy and does #include <linux/hdlc/ioctl.h> #include <linux/if.h> We have a new and unnecessary warning on our hands ;-) Thanks, Frans -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
