Subject: [PATCH] Move if_mii to userspace in mii.h

Dear all,

There is a convenient routine in include/linux/mii.h called if_mii. It
is, however, kept away from userspace. A patch is attached that moves
it back to userspace so that it can be included from outside the
kernel.

Note that the current mii.h in kernel 2.4 does not hide the function.

Regards,
Jouke Witteveen
