* From Scott Barron <sb125499@ohiou.edu>: use theguy2001-07-291-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | SOL_PACKET/PACKET_STATISTICS "getsockopt()" call, on Linux kernels that support it, to get packet statistics, so that we can report the number of dropped packets, and always use <linux/if_packet.h> to get definitions for PF_PACKET sockets, so that we don't depend on glibc's header files having been updated to support all the latest shiniest kernel features (many systems with 2.4[.x] kernels don't have a <netpacket/packet.h> that defines "struct tpacket_stats", for example, so we wouldn't have been able to support that kernel feature on those systems).
* Update the platform-specific information for various platforms.guy2000-12-011-0/+70
Add a "README.linux" file discussing the packet socket and socket filtering kernel options.
