DID YOU EVBEN BOTHER TO READ THE MESSAGE WHICH YOU REPLIED TO???!!! Obviously not, since, as I said, your reply was utterly irrelevant to the question being asked. The question, in case you've forgotten, is: how should one indicate to a network interface that it is to use 802.3 encapsulation rather than Ethernet v2? The answer, as I gave it, was: use the IFF_LINK* flags; that's what they're there for. Now would you please READ the messages before you respond to them? -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
