field. This returns the sdl_data field to a variable-length field. More
importantly, this prevents a easily-reproduceable data-corruption bug when
the interface name plus the hardware address exceed the sdl_data field's
original 12 byte limit. However, token-ring interfaces may still overflow
the new sdl_data field's 46 byte limit if the interface name exceeds 6
characters (since 6 characters for interface name plus 6 for hardware
address plus 34 for source routing = the size of sdl_data). Further
refinements could overcome this limitation but would break binary
compatibility; this commit only addresses fixing the bug for
commonly-occuring cases without breaking binary compatibility with the
intention that the functionality can be MFC'ed to -stable.

on committing to these while they were in the Attic after they had been
removed. I think this was because he had the file checked out and already
'modified' while markm cvs rm'ed them, and cvs screws up when trying to
"merge" the modifications with the "rm". And after that the client
state was sufficiently hosed to keep it messed up. Yay CVS! (CVS is
very fragile for adding and removing files remotely)
The existence of these files was pointed out by: ru
Perl for such things. The key difference to Perl is that a backup extension
*MUST* be specified, because on one hand it isn't recommended to have options
which optionally take a parameter, and on the other hand, it'd be slightly
unpleasent to implement proper handling for that.
The difference between this and the version posted to developers@ is that it
does handle multiple files in argv after the getopt(3) handling "correctly",
in that the inplace editing-specific code has been moved out to a function,
and that function is used beyond the first file in our linked list.
This option has been documented as FreeBSD-specific in the manpage.

ibss is the modern ad-hoc mode. ibss-master is the same, except that
it creates the ibss network. This distinction is necessary because
some supported cards (symbol) support the former without supporting
the latter.
A seprate commit will introduce a demo-adhoc mode so that we can
disentwingle the multiple, mutually exclusive meandings of adhoc in
the present state of affairs.

removed the ftp and ingres users as I guess they're there for
a reason....
