Description Daniel Bahrdt 2007-10-29 19:25:18 UTC 
The kernel headers' linux/if.h file will not be included if you use it in your project.
(See linux/if.h line 19):

#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
# include <net/if.h>
# define _LINUX_IF_H
#endif

#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
#define _LINUX_IF_H
<Implementation>
#endif /* _LINUX_IF_H */

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have look at line 19 in linux/if.h



Expected Results:  
Include the file correctly (as the vanilla/debian headers do)

it isnt strange if you actually read the comments in the patch

fixed with linux-2.6.25-r1
