Dear all,

I wish to access the datalink layer on my Ethernet card directly so that I may 
send/receive raw Ethernet frames.

Outgoing:-

I wish to set the destination mac, the source mac and the payload (an array of bytes).

Receiving:-

Receive a array of bytes that contains the whole dump of the packet (header to end).

This all has to be done in realtime and as efficiently as possible as I have an 
application that will feed this at speed.

What calls do I have to make in Linux to do this (Redhat6.0).  Could anyone point me 
to some documentation on the subject (I have network programming by Stevens)

Thanks in advance for all your help

Dan
