Re: Feature request: add packet send function

[Ryan Mooney <ryan () pcslink com>]

I know that on bpf platforms its as simple as changing the 
bpf open call to be read/write instead of read only.

You do have to build the "whole" packet (ethernet headers,
etc...), but if your messing around with that you should
know what your doing anyway..

It works quite well to :)
