I'd be surprised if IP itself works correctly over a DL_VERSION_1
driver. There only a single check for dl_version in the entirety of the
ip module, and even there the comment was botched. :-) rom ip_if.c:
/*
* When the new DLPI stuff is ready we'll pull lengths
* from dlia.
*/
if (dlia->dl_version == DL_VERSION_2) {
The code goes on to "pull lengths from dlia" using the "new DLPI stuff".
Whoever added DL_VERSION_2 code either couldn't read English, or was
just plain sloppy.
