struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

the packets are immediately returned for sending (e.g. when bridging
or packet forwarding). There are more efficient ways to do this
but for now use the least intrusive approach.

support stripped out and minimally renamed to owi. This driver
attaches to lucent cards only. This is designed to aid in the testing
of fixes to the wi driver for lucent cards. It is supported only as a
module (you cannot compile it into your kernel). You cannot have the
wi driver in your kernel (or loaded as a moudle) to use the owi
module.
I've not connected it to build, as this module is currently for
debugging purposes. This is for developers only at the present time.
If we can't get lucent support fixed by 5.2 code freeze, then we'll
re-evaulate this support level. Please use this to fix the lucent
support in dev/wi. This will be removed from the system when lucent
support has been fixed in dev/wi.
Note to developers: Do not connect this to the build, make it possible
to build into the kernel or otherwise 'integrate' this into system
without checking with me first. This is for debugging purposes only.
If this doesn't work for you, I don't want to hear about it unless you
are fixing the wi driver :-)
