I just went through this... look at pcap_datalink().  If it doesn't return DLT_EN10MB,
then you have to provide logic to deal with whatever differences there might be in
the link layer header.  See a recent manpage for pcap, and/or check the archives for
the thread "loopback interface and byte order".
