For those of you writing network device drivers: In 4.0.3 the calling
sequence to arpresolve has changed.
In 4.0.1 the calling sequence was: arpresolve(&arpcom, &mbuf, &idst, edst,
&usetrailers)
In 4.0.3 the calling sequence was changed to: arpresolve(&arpcom, &mbuf)
The usetrailers options was dropped altogether. (Under the theory that new
drivers should never generate trailers, but always accept them.)
idst (internet destination) needs to be supplied in a new field in the
arpcom structure (ac_lastip).
edst (ethernet destination) will be returned in a new field in the arpcom
structure (ac_lastarp)
Aren't you glad that minor dot.dot releases are always source code
compatible! :-).
