Please consider changing “struct ether_addr” in rte_ether.h to “struct rte_ether_addr”, in order to avoid conflicts with the same structure name /usr/include/net/ethernet.h.

This is kind of a pain for us since we would like to include ethernet.h in order to get some other definitions, but we can’t because it conflicts with the same structure name in rte_ether.h.

Thanks,
lew

Sometimes, there is need to include /usr/include/net/ethernet.h, but it conflicts with the same structure name in rte_ether.h.  Was there a reason this structure wasn't given the standard rte_ prefix?

Thanks,
lew
