First, apply the patches in PR 29210 if you haven't already (now that I think of it, they are probably in Doug's mega patch.) This removes all duplicate structures. Next, move an_rxframe to if_aironet_ieee.h so it's in the userland include file. The kernel now uses both of them so that should be the best answer. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
