Hi,

I use the libbridge and an other lib (libnl) in a same project.
I include the headers files of the two lib (libnl first and libbridgge
after) and I've a conflict with the inclusion of linux/if.h (in libnl
headers) and net/if.h (in libbridge.h), I've this error :

/usr/include/net/if.h:45: error: parse error before numeric constant
/usr/include/net/if.h:111: error: redefinition of `struct ifmap'
/usr/include/net/if.h:126: error: redefinition of `struct ifreq'
/usr/include/net/if.h:176: error: redefinition of `struct ifconf'

I modify the libbridge.h to include the net/if.h only if the
linux/if.h is not define :

Do you think it's a good solution ?
