For me, that's defined in /usr/include/linux/if_arp.h (which is
correctly included as <net/if_arp.h>

I'm guessing you have an old version of the glibc kernel headers, for me
I have glibc-kernheaders-3.0-45.3 installed.

We should either do:

* ifndef ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM... define ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM... etc
(bad in my opinion)
* Depend on newer version of the kernel headers (can we do this?)
* Explicitly check for ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM in configure.in

Does that help?
