	It is defined in /usr/include/net/ethernet.h it just doesn't appear
to match completely:

#ifndef KERNEL
#include <sys/cdefs.h>

/*
 * Ethernet address conversion/parsing routines.
 */
__BEGIN_DECLS

int     ether_hostton __P((char *, struct ether_addr *));
int     ether_line __P((char *, struct ether_addr *, char *));
char    *ether_ntoa __P((const struct ether_addr *));
int     ether_ntohost __P((char *, struct ether_addr *));
__END_DECLS
#endif /* !KERNEL */


#if defined(HAVE_ETHER_HOSTTON)
   extern int ether_hostton(const char *, struct ether_addr *);
#endif

	Removing the "const" above appears to fix the problem although it may 
break other OSes.
