Since there can be multiple devices in the system and LLC does no routing,
you probably need to bind your application to a specific device mac address.

Something like this would set address to match command line arg.
	struct ifreq ifr;
...
	memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
	strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, argv[1], IFNAMSIZ);
	if (ioctl(s, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr) < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "%s: get address failed: %s\n",
			argv[1], strerror(errno));
		return 1;
	}

...	
	memcpy(localaddr.sllc_mac, ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data, IFHWADDRLEN);
