Comment on Falsehoods Programmers Believe About LANsparent

Can that still be used from modern operating systems? Maybe only Linux?

I suspect recentish versions of Windows still have the driver available, just not installed by default.

However the article is about falsehoods programmers believe about LANs. If you are writing some kind of driver and assume all traffic you receive is IP traffic and don't verify the header, you are going to have a bad time.
