I'm compiling tcpdump, but can't find a definition for "struct ifnet".
I think I had this problem once before but now there doesn't seem to
be any Linux-header-file with this definition in it.
Has this struct been renamed, or discontinued?

tcpdump-2.2.1/i586-linux:# make

In file included from tcpgram.y:34:
../linuxinclude/netinet/if_ether.h:99: field `ac_if' has incomplete type
make: *** [tcpgram.o] Error 1
^^^^^^^^ storage class of ac_if couldn't be determined in ether.h ^^^^^^^^^^
# grep ac_if ../linuxinclude/netinet/if_ether.h
struct ifnet ac_if; /* network-visible interface */
^^^^^^^^^ struct if_net is the type definition that is missing ^^^^^^^^^^^^
# grep ifnet `find /usr/include/linux/ -name "*.h"`
/usr/include/linux/route.h: struct ifnet *rt_ifp;
^^^^^^^^^ One kernel-include-file, route.h, also references "struct ifnet" ^^^
# find /usr/include -follow -name '*.h' -exec grep ifnet {} \;
struct ifnet *rt_ifp;
^^^^^ Looking at all of /usr/include still doesn't provide a definition
I need a clue. Can you help me?
