Some of these changes are a bit rough and will become
more polished later. the changes to if_ethersubr should largely be moved
to within the appletalk code, but that will happen later.
A few of these were related to network-byteorder problems,
and more were related to loopback failures.
Route(1) has a bug that sends a bad message to the kernel. The kernel
trusts it and crashes. Add some sanity checks so that
we don't trust the user quite as much any more.
(also add a comment in if_ethersubr.c)
and not the MAC address of the first interface for every IPX address.
This is more inline with the way others like Novell do it.

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.
previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
abominable multi_kludge. Update all network interfaces to use the
new machanism. Distressingly few Ethernet drivers program the multicast
filter properly (assuming the hardware has one, which it usually does).
multicast group memberships. This is not actually operative
at the moment (a lot of other code still needs to be changed), but
this seemed like a useful reference point to check in so that
others (i.e. Bill Fenner) have fair warning of where we are going.
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
type to be int so that errors can be returned.
2) Use the new SIOCSIFMTU ether_ioctl support in the few drivers that are
using ether_ioctl().
3) In if_fxp.c: treat if_bpf as a token, not as a pointer. Don't bother
testing for FXP_NTXSEG being reached in fxp_start()...just check for
non-NULL 'm'. Change fxp_ioctl() to use ether_ioctl().
gary went a little overboard on commenting out unused variables.
Variables needed for ISO, LLC and NETATALK
were only enabled for ISO & LLC.. so NETATALK bombed.
Kernel Appletalk protocol support
both CAP and netatalk can make use of this..
still needs some owrk but it seemd the right tiime to commit it
so other can experiment.
others: start to populate the link-layer branch of the net mib, by
moving ARP to its proper place. (ARP is not a protocol family, it's an
interface layer between a medium-access layer and a protocol family.)
sysctl(8) needs to be taught about the structure of this branch, unless
Poul-Henning implements dynamic MIB exploration soon.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

and one set by the protocol family. Also add another parameter to
rtalloc1() to allow for any interface flags to be ignored; currently
this is only useful for RTF_PRCLONING. Get rid of rt_prflags and re-unite
with rt_flags. Add T/TCP ``route metrics''.
NB: YOU MUST RECOMPILE `route' AND OTHER RELATED PROGRAMS AS A RESULT OF
THIS CHANGE.
This also adds a new interface parameter, `ifi_physical', which will
eventually replace IFF_ALTPHYS as the mechanism for specifying the
particular physical connection desired on a multiple-connection card.

THIS CHANGE.
and into ether_input(). It was silly to have bpf want this one way and
ether_input want it another way. Ripped out trailer support from the few
remaining drivers that still had it.
a route. (This still doesn't work, but it doesn't panic now.) It looks
like there may be a number of incipient bugs in this code.
Also, get ready for the time when all IP gateway routes are cloning, which
is necessary to keep proper TCP statistics.
