Bug#238344: libnet_init(): unknown physical layer type 0x30f

This the result of the default case being tripped from a fall-through
in the 'switch (ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_family)' on line 98 in
libnet_link_linux.c. And this is weird. Is there something different
about the driver or interface that would cause that odd value of 0x30f
to be returned? This is the first I've seen it and I don't have a linux
box anyone to dig into it... Domenico, any idea why this value is being
returned?
