3.2.5 Routing information (RI) field

When a frame's routing information indicator bit in the source address
field is equal to 1 (RII=1), the RI field shall be included in the frame.
The following provides sufficient information for the MAC entity to
determin the size of the RI field and parse the frame properly.  The
detailed structure and contents for the RI field is described in ISO/IEC
10038:1993 and ISO/IEC 88022-2 : 1994

<- RI Field (Length represented by LTH Field) ->
|                                              |
+------+--------+------------------------------+
| 3    | LTH    |                              |
| bits | 5 bits |                              |
+------+--------+------------------------------+

 RI = Routing Information (2 to 30 octets when present)
LTH = Lenght (5 bits) (number of octets)

iso88025subr.c : iso88025_ioctl() must insure that such misconfiguration
will not happen.  

And will when I get a chance to write it. :)
