Well, we *are* doing an info request after binding, so perhaps it might 
happen then.

I'm not sure why we're doing that; it dates back to libpcap 0.4.  Do 
you know of any reason why the "dl_mac_type" from an info request 
before binding to a SAP might be different from the "dl_mac_type" from 
a request after binding to a SAP?
