: This is incorrect.  The port only builds on -CURRENT because -CURRENT has the
: /usr/include/dev/wi layout.  4.x does not have this layout therefore
: common.h.in (source-mods/common/) must be used.  So you mv common.h.in to
: common.h and you edit that file to include <machine/if_wavelan_ieee.h>,
: which is where the header is located.  "common.h" is required on 4.x because
: the header changes in -CURRENT have not made it to 4.x.  -CURRENT
: if_wavelan_ieee.h saw an assimilation of the common.h file from bsd-airtools.

Ummmm, you are in error.  -stable a before the 4.6-RELEASE has the new
layout, but missed a file.  Just after the 4.6-Release branch was
made, I corrected the missing file, so a new enough -stable doesn't
need patches.  The port that's in freebsd now does assume that you
have a new enough version of -stable or -current, I think.
