MAC address through libipq

[Iman Mayes]

I have bee trying to find a way to get access to the source MAC address through use of libipq. After looking at sources and docs, all I have found is that there is a hw_addr entry in the ipq_packet_msg struct. I modified the intercept.c program ot print it out, but whenever I do it comes up null. The other entries that intercept.c prints out such as indev_name, hook, etc. have actual information.   1 - Am I incorrect in assuming that hw_addr is supposed to be the MAC address? If so where can I get the MAC address from libipq? 2 - Does the MAC address get passed through the queue mechanism? if not, how can I get the MAC address to a userspace program using libipq or anything else?   I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I even tried searching on google and have come up dry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   BTW, is there a searchable version of this mailing list?   Iman Mayes
