This patch against libdnet-stripped/src/eth-ndd.c contains a possible
typo, please look closely at:

+       char bufc[60];
+       int result = 0;
+       if (len < 60) {
+               memset(bufc, 0,sizeof(buf));

Third argument of memset() should be: sizeof(bufc)


That write() call can write an extra zero byte, and the returned result
will not reflect the number of written bytes on success.


Sorry I don't know AIX, but can you please tell us why are you trying
to re-write the eth_send() function ? Thanks.
