>Description:

The strip driver contains references to sc_xxx, formerly an
mbuf pointer in the softc. that field doesn't seem to exist.

>How-To-Repeat:

Configure a with strip, e.g.,

	pseudo-device	strip	1		# Metricom Ricochet

(i did so on an i386, I don't think it makes any difference).

`make if_strip.o' will show the  relevant errors.

>Fix:

Either nuke the driver to eliminate the redundant copies from one
[sic] mbuf cluster to another, or put back the sc_xxx field.
Or something.  I haven't yet read through  the driver with the
new mbuf  changes; if I had I'd fix it myself.
