I was just working on the strip star mode driver from NetBSD (it works!)
and noticed this really stupid piece of code that I KNOW is in every
interface driver:
#if NBPFILTER > 0
bpfattach(&sc->sc_if, DLT_SLIP, SLIP_HDRLEN);
#endif
and just before that code is a call to if_attach... is there any
problem by merging these two together? and then in if_attach if
NBPFILTER is > 0, call the proper bpfattach routine? it seems really
stupid to touch ever driver, when a small modification can improve the
code...
and yes, I know that it will break the interface that made it so easy
to get NetBSD's star mode driver up and running... :)
