Indeed. If I try a fresh build of 5.4-RC3 with "union ipx_net"
defined without "u_int u_net", both "IPXrouted" and
"netstat -rnf ipx" work as expected. No additional "packed"
attributes are required. Does the change to "src/sys/netipx/ipx.h"
need to be reverted (again)? I don't use the mars_nwe port so don't
know the ramifications there.
Thanks for the hint!
