Hello Louis Frayser!
}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?

I had the same error, for me the following has helped:
