System: NetBSD fish-dances.eterna.com.au 1.6H NetBSD 1.6H (_fish_) #114: Fri Sep 13 14:37:50 EST 2002 mrg@fish-dances.eterna.com.au:/var/_fish_ i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

	using hostap mode on a sparc causes the machine to crash.  this
	is because of the stupid addr_cmp() inline function in wi.c.

>How-To-Repeat:

	use wi0 hostap mode on a sparc, or presumably any alignment
	forcing architecture.

>Fix:

	#define addr_cmp(a,b) memcmp(a,b,6)

	?  this works for me just fine.  isn't there an ether_cmp as well?
