	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.
