Subject: CDS upgrade: new mx 1.2.16 installed 

I rebuilt/installed mx 1.2.16 to use "ether-mode", instead of the default MX-10G:

controls@fb /opt/src/mx-1.2.16 0$ ./configure --enable-ether-mode --prefix=/opt/mx-1.2.16
...
controls@fb /opt/src/mx-1.2.16 0$ make
..
controls@fb /opt/src/mx-1.2.16 0$ make install
...

I then rebuilt/installed daqd so that it properly linked against the updated mx install:

controls@fb /opt/rtcds/rtscore/release/src/daqd 0$ ./configure --enable-debug --disable-broadcast --without-myrinet --with-mx --with epics=/opt/rtapps/epics/base --with-framecpp=/opt/rtapps/framecpp --enable-local-timing
...
controls@fb /opt/rtcds/rtscore/release/src/daqd 0$ make
...
controls@fb /opt/rtcds/rtscore/release/src/daqd 0$ install daqd /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/fb/

It's now back to running and receiving data from the front ends (still not stable yet, though).
