    Did you modify /sys/conf/options to tell it about your
    AOE option? If so, then you should have specified the name
    of a header file that the option would be #define'd into.
    Include that header file in if_ethersubr.c and you should
    have no problems.

    Incidentally, this might be an area when netgraph would be
    useful. Instead of having an AoE specific hook in the
    stack, you could have an AoE netgraph module that uses the
    existing netgraph hooks. It's just an idea, though.
