See libpcap commit 8cff296dc7c321c76933359d586dbde5b580ce8c, which adds 
DLT_LINUX_SLL2/LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL2 support.

Both DLT_LINUX_SLL and DLT_LINUX_SLL2 are supported if the PACKET_RESERVE 
socket option is supported, with DLT_LINUX_SLL being, for now, the default.  I 
have just checked in a tcpdump change, 
51c1da63e40e046b6b4620edb1ac1ba8b2707182, to support DLT_LINUX_SLL2, although 
it currently makes no use of the interface index.  Once Wireshark support for 
DLT_LINUX_SLL2 is also added, perhaps that's the time to make it the default, 
although choosing DLT_LINUX_SLL2 may make other programs that support 
DLT_LINUX_SLL but not DLT_LINUX_SLL2 unable to read captures.
