Where does libpcap get the incoming network data? From the driver?

[Jorge Canas <jcanas2000 () hotmail com>]

Hi,

Two quick questions:

1. Does libpcap obtain incoming packet data from the nic's driver or from somewhere else?
2. Does libpcap obtain outgoing packet data from the linux IP layer or from somewhere else?

thanks!
