Could you amend this sentence to say that sll_family is used for binding? Granted, the man page already says that sll_family is always AF_PACKET, but it wasn't very clear to me. Either way, best regards. --Cortland Setlow. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Either way, best regards. Long after the fact... Agreed it would be helpful to mention 'sll_family' here. I've added it.
