The original _Unix Network Programming_, published in 1990, doesn't
have anything about BPF, designed in 1993 =)  However, _Unix Network
Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition: Networking APIs: Sockets and
XTI_, to be published in 1998, will have a chapter on direct link
access.  However, in my review copy, it focuses on reading from BPF,
and basically says to look at rarpd if you want to know how to write.
