*Enable packet socket SOCK\_DGRAM support*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    For AF_PACKET sockets with SOCK_DGRAM type, the L2 header
    is removed before the packet is passed to the user.  Packets sent
    through a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket get a suitable L2 header based
    on the information in the sockaddr_ll destination address before
    they are queued.
