AF_LINK problem

Hi,
I'm trying to create a socket under AF_LINK family but freebsd is saying
that "protocol is not supported" while creating the socket.
Is AF_LINK not supported?

    ... Minus socket creation, usage is identical for both protocol families and offering services on both types of endpoints can easily be done with the standardized I/O multiplexing facilities and with whatever extended ones are available. ... Another nice feature is the availability of reliable datagram sockets, since this avoids the need for writing code to work around bytestream semantics for record-based protocols. ... IOW, I believe, if the receiver process' socket buffer is full, even a blocking sendoperation is allowed to return without error and still lose the message -- the kernel is permitted to throw away the message between the sending and the receiving socket buffers, after it has placed the datagram successfully in the outgoing skb when the sending process called sendmsg. ...
