Hi, When packet socket (PF_SOCKET) is attempted in syscall bind () to the network interface, which is down (no IF_UPP flag), packet_do_bind () sets error to the socket, but bind () does not fail.
When datagram, stream or raw socket fail to bind to some local ip-port/ip, bind () fails. Is this behavior of bind () for packet socket done deliberately, or better to correct it so that bind will fail and return errno, e.g. ENODEV?
