Subject: netdev: Use SOCK_RAW instead of SOCK_PACKET.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=68798b7c184a34d55e28934e4141f0a2abaea531;p=openvswitch

netdev: Use SOCK_RAW instead of SOCK_PACKET.

A comment previously claimed this wasn't possible, but it
was wrong (and due to misunderstanding kernel code).
