Do we really have to save MAC address into softc?
Can't we refer it by "CLLADDR(ifp->if_sadl)"?

I'll be totally honest here - I really haven't dived very deeply into
the network interface architecture at all.  So I have no idea if your
suggestion would work or not.  Where does ifp->if_sadl get stored?

I think ifp is initialized once ether_ifattach() is called
and we can always pull ifp in the drive via &sc->ethercom.ec_if.
(USB drivers seem to use GET_IFP(sc) macro)

axe_init() is called only from ioctls so I think it will work.
(otherwise OpenBSD's ac_enaddr won't work either)

OK, I changed it and it still works. (BTW, I need to make it __UNCONST() for passing it as arg to axe_cmd() routine.)

-                       c->axe_buf = usbd_alloc_buffer(c->axe_xfer, AXE_BUFSZ);
+                       c->axe_buf = usbd_alloc_buffer(c->axe_xfer,
+                                                      sc->axe_bufsz);

KNF?

:)  Fixed (although I still prefer my own format here!)

There are some more similar lines.

I think I have found all of them.

+                       if ((pktlen % 2) != 0)
+                               pktlen++;

roundup2(9)?

Done.

Looks wrong arg order.

"pkglen = roundup2(pktlen, sizeof(uint16_t));"
might be better as roundup2(9) man page says :-)

Ooops!  Fixed.
