[vbox-dev] virtualbox 5.0.22 fails to build on Ubuntu yakkety

[Frank Mehnert]

Hi Gianfranco,

thanks for the heads-up. In my opinion this is a bug in the Yakkety
Linux kernel headers package (ethtool.h should include the headers it
depends on itself) but I applied the workaround you proposed.

Kind regards,

Frank
