Subject: [PATCH] pppd: Fix compilation with older glibc or kernel headers
(#248)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
glibc versions prior to 2.24 do not define SOL_NETLINK and linux kernel
versions prior to 4.3 do not define NETLINK_CAP_ACK. So add fallback
definitions for these macros into pppd/sys-linux.c file.
Also extend description why we call SOL_NETLINK/NETLINK_CAP_ACK option.
