I'm willing to produce the patches, although

	1) I don't currently have a platform set up to test whether they compile;

	2) I don't have hardware on which to test whether they work (the person who submitted

		https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/issues/393#issuecomment-218442072

	   does, although he doesn't have X550 hardware - I guess he wants hardware time stamping on an 82599EB; it sounds as if that won't work, and his patch to the driver won't give him what he wants);

	3) patches from the driver maintainers might 1) be more likely to do the right thing and 2) be more likely to be accepted.
