Hi Brian,

Thanks for the review.

I did that because I saw other drivers (e.g., [1], [2]) use similar
approaches, and I assumed that the rest of the pipeline will
eventually drop it if the packet cannot be recognized. But, yes, we
can just drop the packet here if it doesn't look good.

We can't simply move the check inside the if branch because the
condition also checks rx_pkt_hdr->rfc1042_hdr.snap_type. Though, of
course, it is doable by adding another `if` conditions.

I'd still appreciate some comment here.

Hmm, I suppose. I'm frankly not sure how exactly all upper layers handle
this, but at least in a non-raw mode, we'll drop them. (We might be
delivering awfully weird packets to tcpdump though, but this is already
a weird situation, if it's such a weird-looking packet.)

Right.

I guess this is probably OK as-is:
