I realize that, even netdevice.h itself has other instances.
Thus I dont understand why this one generated a compiler error 
for me.  Thus I was wondering why others had not run into this
and not suggesting it should be patched.

However, changing the way we set up type etc. doesnt seem relevant
to what the compiler is flagging.
