This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
the end of that sstructure to make evolution easier.
Add definitions for the 802.3/Ethernet MIB. To implement this, simply
add a `struct ifmib_iso_8802_3' somewhere in your interface's softc,
point if_linkmib to it, set if_linkmiblen, and fill in the statistics
with appropriate values. (I didn't want to create Yet Another Ethernet-
related header file, otherwise this would have been separated out.)
interfaces. This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch
of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple
recompile is all that's necessary.)
I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested
in making use of it.
