Question on SOCK_PACKET

[Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm building a test protocol that will write directly to
the ethernet driver using the SOCK_PACKET socket type.


However, I'm seeing something a little wierd.  I write a pkt
of 1036 bytes, but when I read off of the receiving port
(on the other machine), I read 1040 bytes.  All bytes seem to
be the same, except that there are 4 extra ones tacked onto
the end.

I'm suspicious that they might be an ethernet checksum.  Can
anyone confirm this, or provide any other ideas?

Thanks,
Ben
