System: NetBSD snert 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (SNERT) #1: Tue Jun 2 18:14:44 MEST 1998 hwr@snert:/homes/hwr/sys/arch/i386/compile/SNERT i386
>Description:
We have more than only the four types that are described (e.g.
Atalk)
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at /usr/include/net/ethertypes.h
and
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/ethernet-numbers
or Rfc 1701
>Fix:
Add the following to /usr/include/net/ethertypes.h:
#define ETHERTYPE_XNS 0x0600 /* XNS */
#define ETHERTYPE_ATALK 0x809B /* AppleTalk */
#define ETHERTYPE_IPV6 0x86DD /* IPv6 */
#define ETHERTYPE_IPX 0x8137 /* Novell IPX */
I am not sure if the following is needed:
#define ETHERTYPE_AARP 0x80F3 /* AppleTalk AARP */
