+// Additional information, from Mike Playle, December 2018, for Issue #42
+//
+//	I came across this the other day with Xastir, and took a quick look.
+//	The problem is fixable without the kiss_frame.c hack, which doesn't help with Xastir anyway.
+//
+//	Workaround
+//
+//	After the kissattach command, put the interface into CRC mode "none" with a command like this:
+//
+//	# kissparms -c 1 -p radio
+//
+//	Analysis
+//
+//	The source of this behaviour is the kernel's KISS implementation:
+//
+//	https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.9/source/drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.c#L489
+//
+//	It defaults to starting in state CRC_MODE_SMACK_TEST and ending up in mode CRC_NONE
+//	after the first two packets, which have their framing byte modified by this code in the process.
+//	It looks to me like deliberate behaviour on the kernel's part.
+//
+//	Setting the CRC mode explicitly before sending any packets stops this state machine from running.
+//
+//	Is this a bug? I don't know - that's up to you! Maybe it would make sense for Direwolf to set
+//	the CRC mode itself, or to expect this behaviour and ignore these flags on the first packets
+//	received from the Linux pty.
+//
+//	This workaround seems sound to me, though, so perhaps this is just a documentation issue.
