This patch uses the IFF_SOFTHEADER flag and sets the mac data
pointer appropriately on ISDN net devices. This allows raw
packet snoopers (particularly diald and probably tcpdump) to
see meaningful data on the interface without cruft from
whatever encapsulation is in use. It's stolen from the PPP
code if any justification is needed.

I sent it to Fritz a while back but I haven't seen it in a
kernel yet (but then I haven't been paying that much attention
recently).

Mike
