    	If I want to send on raw ethernet using sendto(), what
    do I specify in the sa_family an other concerned fields.
    Sending on raw ethernet socket bypasses which stacks of the
    OSI/ISO models. In the address field do I send the ethernet
    address of the destination. What are the various facilities
    provided by the ioctl system call.
