...

Is the development of pcap such that such a feature might be present
in the next several months? Even something that would work on WinXP
and beyond and Linux with a newish kernel would be great, although I
don't assume that pcap and winpcap are developed by the same people.

--GV--
In the case of Windows/WinPcap, we have an internal Packet API to get the 
MAC address, the main problem is exposing such MAC address at the pcap API 
level. I actually didn't know that findalldevs was returning the MAC address 
on (some flavors of?) linux. What is the sa_family in that case?

Have a nice day
