912 hdrlen = llc->dev->hard_header_len + llc_ui_header_len(sk, addr);
looks like llc->dev was null, (understandable, given Trinity doesn't really know
how to set up llc beyond random socket()/setsockopt() calls).
llc_ui_autobind returns -ENODEV in that case, so it looks like the SOCK_ZAPPED
test
was false. Something like the patch below maybe ? It feels ugly to be
duplicating that
test there, but if this is agreed upon I'll resubmit this properly.
