Clarification for man 7 packet: sll_family is used for binding.

Hi,

In the packet (7) manpage ( I retrieved the HTML version from
kernel.org today ) it says
"For bind only sll_protocol and sll_ifindex are used." but I get
EINVAL unless I also
use sll_family.  Could you amend this sentence to say that sll_family
is used for binding?
Granted, the man page already says that sll_family is always AF_PACKET,
but it wasn't very clear to me.  Either way, best regards.
