I had looked at libnet prior to posting, however the first hit on google that led to its documentation 
http://libnet.sourceforge.net/libnet.html#Alphabetic%20List%20of%20Functions did not seem like it would be helpful; 
nothing on packet construction.  libnet.sourceforge sounded like a legit url for libnet.  Thank you for the clue as to 
there being two versions, as I then probed in to more libnet links and I found documentation for a seemingly different 
version here: http://linux.die.net/man/3/libnet which seems to have functions to do the kind of things I am looking for!

I'll look for where I can get the version of libnet that that man page is referring to.
Thanks again,
Gabe-
