now rp->ai_socktype will be SOCK_DGRAM and rp->ai_protocol UDP. So the 'raw' socket for GRE will be a datagram socket for UDP. E.g. you need the second hunk from my workaround[1]. I just wondered if you could think about a better way (one that can be easily dumped or ifdefed without putting the special case in the middle). holger [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=raw-socket.patch&...
