It looks like most of the socket options from this man pages
are not defined in <netpacket/packet.h>. They are defined in
<linux/if_packet.h> so we should include that one.
Hello Sorin,

It looks like <netpacket/packet.h> was based on some ancient
version of <linux/if_packet.h> that has not been updated.
Since linux/if_packet.h is under the "uapi" tree the
proposed patch seems the best fix. Thanks for sending it.
I've applied it.

Cheers,

Michael
