Hi, I've sent my first email into ML yesterday, but it's not in ML. I'm sorry to these who might read it twice.
I'm playing with implementing LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2 [1] as a part of [3] in libpcap and using it in tcpdump. I wonder what is a correct solution for libpcap: 1) Keeping LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL [2] altogether with LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2, compile both (having one of them as default for linux, second allow to use with -y switch in tcpdump). 2) Keeping LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL [2] altogether with LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2 but compile only one of them (allow to chose via --with-pcap). 3) Replace LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL with LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2. I've got somehow working 3), but some tcpdump tests are failing and I guess that's not what would be accepted due backwards compatibility. I guess 1) is what is wanted, that's what I'm working on. Thank you for your comments / opinions / recommendations.
