Hi Willem,

I'm sorry, but I would like to confirm the issue further.

Thank you for pointing out this error. I would like to confirm if I
need to use dev->hard_header_len to get the correct header length and
return zero if dev->min_header_len != dev->hard_header_len to handle
variable-length link layer headers. Is there something I
misunderstand, or are there other aspects I need to consider further?
