>Description:
You can't #include net/if_ether.h on its own.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read ethers(3), find description of some functions called ether_*, and
try to compile the following program:

#include <net/if_ether.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	struct ether_addr addr;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[0] = 0x1;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[1] = 0x23;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[2] = 0x4f;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[3] = 0x5a;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[4] = 0xd;
	addr.ether_addr_octet[5] = 0x99;

	printf("ether_ntoa output: %s\n", ether_ntoa(&addr));

	return 0;
}

It fails with:
In file included from test.c:6:
/usr/include/net/if_ether.h:56: syntax error before `u_int8_t'

>Fix:
None provided.

Workaround:
Also include sys/types.h, sys/socket.h, and net/if.h.
