"""
AF_PACKET receive support

When VLAN offload is enabled on the NIC Linux will not deliver the VLAN tag
in the data returned by recv. Instead, it delivers the VLAN TCI in a control
message. Python 2.x doesn't have built-in support for recvmsg, so we have to
use ctypes to call it. The recv function exported by this module reconstructs
the VLAN tag if it was offloaded.
