Subject: no reassembly for outgoing packets on RAW socket

hi,

I'd like to be able to sendout a single IP packet with MF flag set.

When using RAW sockets the packet will get stuck in the
netfilter (NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT nf_defrag_ipv4 reassembly unit)
and wont ever make it out..

I made a change which bypass the outgoing reassembly for
RAW sockets, but I'm not sure wether it's too invasive..

Is there any standard for RAW sockets behaviour?
Or another way around? :)

thanks,
jirka
