The attached patch is the third revision of my attempt to enable memory mapped access to ethernet devices under Linux. I tried to address some of the major concerns emerged in the past days.
Printing a message to the standard error and exiting if ring corruption is found is probably not the best approach. Instead, it should probably:
set the error string on the pcap_t to the error message;set most of the function pointers to routines that just return an error indication (except for the close routine);
return an error indication;so that the application can report the error as appropriate and close the pcap_t.
This would let GUI applications, for example, display the message in the GUI, and would even let tty-based applications gracefully close any capture file they're writing.
