did not notice, since uaddr->sa_data should take dev->name this does no look very
clever. How is the size of  sa_data defined ? Would it hurt when some uses IFNAMSIZ here ?
Perhaps someone who know more about the network stack can figure out what is actualy done
with uaddr->sa_data.

looks like a can of worms.


In packet_bind_spkt() they will copy a char[15], obviously it is a real problem.
