From 2fab35d78f32fc107e1af4b1ec23f557fa20d911 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dooks Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 15:59:43 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Fix GCC4 compile error: sysctl in linux/if_ether.h The following is generated when compiling a recent (2.6.14-rc2-git5) kernel configured for ARM, with GCC4. CC init/main.o In file included from include/linux/netdevice.h:29, from include/net/sock.h:48, from init/main.c:50: include/linux/if_ether.h:114: error: array type has incomplete element type It seems that if CONFIG_SYSCTL is not set, then the compiler will throw an error due to the definition of the ether_table[] array Attached is a solution to the problem Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks Signed-off-by: David S.
