[Simh] Problem with Ethernet Solved - Possible Bug report

[Hittner, David T.]

The ethernet patch from Naoki was officially submitted for correction
May 17, 2007.
It should appear in the next release of SIMH.

Dan; it's not that the code stopped looking once it finds a "bad"
interface;
The code incorrectly "removed" the bad interface from the list,
destroying a "good" interface in the process. :-(

The problem has been solved with a patch I got from Naoki Hamada. I
don't know if this has been reported before but :

It seems that the code in "sim_ether.c" checks the interfaces to see if
they are valid, but if it finds one thats not (In my case the firewire
interface) it stops looking. The patch allowed me to see all network
interfaces on my machine.
I am running version 3.7-1 on Mac with OS X v10.4.9. the libpcap version
was 0.8.3-11.
The patch was taken from here
