Packet socket
CONFIG_PACKET
The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate
directly with network devices without an intermediate network
protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump. If you want them
to work, choose Y. This driver is also available as a module called
af_packet.o ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the
running kernel whenever you want). If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. If unsure,
say Y.
This is needed at least for all ax25-utils that "listen to the band",
mheardd, netromd, listen and various configuration utils like kissattach.
I believe it is needed for soundmodem config utils too.
If you compile the support as a module, you need "alias net-pf-17
af_packet" in your conf.modules.
This is BTW the one that complais about the obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
syscall. It _does_ work even if it complains.
