Or you could consider not using pcap at all. I don't know what your application is but it's possible you could accomplish it just by receiving and sending on raw IP sockets. That's also quite portable.
Thanks for this suggestion! I read a bunch of documentation claiming it was actually highly nonportable to scare people off, but I was never totally clear on what features weren't portable. I will try this approach and see if it is simpler for this application. I am, of course, also still open to other suggestions. Robert. - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
