This is totally not intentional; the ARPHRD_RAWIP symbol is used in
the rmnet backend, and the rmnet backend itself should only be used if
the kernel has rmnet support, which we look for at configure time with
the following check:

AC_EGREP_HEADER([ifla_rmnet_flags],
                [linux/if_link.h],
                [enable_rmnet_support=yes],
                [enable_rmnet_support=no])

We should probably improve that check to also include a lookup for the
ARPHRD_RAWIP symbol.
What do you think?
