Yes, you can use Libnet Library to write the packets...And yes you can
use Pcap to capture the packets from the network interface...

Subject: [tcpdump-workers] any way to write datalink packets?

Dear,

As pointed out by Richard Stevens in the chapter 26 of his book " UNIX
Network Programming vol1: 2nd edition", pcap supports packets while
reading. I want to ask is there any way to write datalink packets? I
mean if an application sends out a packet, can it be captured by the
pcap?

Moreover , can i use pcap for capturing packets on IEEE 802.11 or WLAN,
if not, can you please provide me a solution?

Thanks

Kashif
