odd idiom in _attach functions

2002-07-24 Thread Brooks Davis
I was poking around in various nic drivers and I noticed that several of them have what seems to be an odd idiom in their generic attach functions. For instance in sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c in ed_attach(), filling in the interface fields and attaching the interface is protected by and "if (!ifp->if_name

rarpd on laptops doesn't find interfaces, fix athttp://www.webgroup.ch/ast/rarpd/

2002-07-24 Thread Adrian Steinmann
