Hi -
"struct ifnet" has an "#if NAGR > 0" in it. This can cause that
it has a different length for kernel and userland. What makes it
worse is that there are other structures (eg "struct ethercom")
which embed "ifnet" and thus change their layout. This breaks eg
"ifconfig -a" and "ifmcstat" for me.
Just delete the "ifdef" or is there a way to make "if_agrprivate"
really agr private?
best regards
Matthias
