I was wondering if this would affect mopd.  I've just been working with raw
Ethernet under Linux (for my PDP-11 emulator's DEQNA and DELUA emulations),
which was interesting because first of all PF_INET/SOCK_PACKET is officially
deprecated as of the 2.2.x kernels, you're supposed to use PF_PACKET instead
but the writeup in "man 7 packet" isn't 100% accurate so it took a bunch of
kernel source spelunking to figure out how to get something actually working.

Is anyone planning to update mopd to use PF_PACKET (or have they already)?
In principle I'm willing to volunteer, although I'm buried in work and I
don't know how much time I'd be able to spare.
