In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
ARCnet "cap mode" packet encapsulation. Used to get the hardware
acknowledge back to userspace. After the initial protocol byte every
packet is stuffed with an extra 4 byte "cookie" which doesn't
actually appear on the network. After transmit the driver will send
back a packet with protocol byte 0 containing the status of the
transmission:
0=no hardware acknowledge
1=excessive nak
2=transmission accepted by the receiver hardware
Received packets are also stuffed with the extra 4 bytes but it will
be random data.
Cap only listens to protocol 1-8.
