That reminds me... I was trying to get get diald to use AF_PACKET,
SOCK_DGRAM snooping at the weekend (as I want it manage ippp links).
However it seems that an AF_PACKET, SOCK_DGRAM never receives
anything when bound to a slip interface (my test code did get data
when I changed the interface name to something else). Using AF_PACKET,
SOCK_PACKET does get data. I can work around this for now as only the
proxy needs to be slip. I don't know the net code well enough to
figure this one out - even after staring blankly at it for a weekend :-(.
