I'll give it a try in the morning, thanks. The biggest change when
packaging 5.51 was realizing that we needed to explicitly pad in
eth_send and that setting sa.sndd_8022_ethertype (even though all the
docs and sample code that I found said to set it) caused bind() to fail,
but setting it to 0 worked.
