James Chapman dd10baa50d iproute2: add l2spec_type param to l2tp add session
When unmanaged L2TP sessions are created using "ip l2tp add session",
there is no option to allow the session's Layer2SpecificHeader type to
be selected - the kernel's default setting is always used. For
interopability with some vendor equipment, it might be necessary to
use a different setting. So add a new l2spec_type parameter to the "ip
l2tp add session" parameter list, allowing operators to set a specific
Layer2SpecificHeader type. The kernel already exposes the setting as a
netlink attribute so it is straightforward to add support for it in
iproute2.

This change allows unmanaged L2TP sessions to be configured between
Linux and some Cisco equipment by specifying "l2spec_type none" in "ip
l2tp add session" command parameters.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
