[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>] libc/858: Missing ethertype.h and ETHERTYPE_* defines

[Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>]

Hi,

here's another bug report where I'd like to get your feedback/help.

Should we add ETHERTYPE_DN, ETHERTYPE_ATALK and ETHERTYPE_AARP?
<net/ethernet.h> already includes <linux/if_ether.h> but neither
defines those constants.  I couldn't find those constants on Solaris
either.

>Description:

While trying to compile
<URL:ftp://ftp.unipi.it/pub/local/ntop/source/ntop-1.0.src.tar.gz>, I
discovered that the headerfile ethertype.h which should define
ETHERTYPE_DN, ETHERTYPE_ATALK and ETHERTYPE_AARP is missing.

This is not the first time I discover programs using this header file
and define, so I think this should be fixed in glibc.

>How-To-Repeat:

Fetch code and try to compile
>Fix:
I beleave the correct defines are to be found int <linux/if_ether.h>,
and that a simple headerfile looking like this would make this problem
go away:

  #include <linux/if_ether.h>
  #define ETHERTYPE_ATALK ETH_P_AARP
  #define ETHERTYPE_ATALK ETH_P_ATALK
  #define ETHERTYPE_DN ETH_P_DEC
