A good hint. llc/llc_main.c crashes in llc_sap_find()
because llc_init() has not yet been called, so that
llc_main_station.sap_list.list is not initialized.

And llc_sap_find() was called from 802/psnap.c, in snap_init().

Calling llc_init() and snap_init() in the right order
makes the oops go away.
