[ovs-dev] [PATCH] netdev-linux: Don't include <net/if_packet.h>.

Wed Oct 3 22:39:49 UTC 2018


This header only defines sockaddr_pkt, which this source file doesn't use.

This was the only user of net/if_packet.h, so also remove the
configure-time test for it (which netdev-linux wasn't using anyway).
