Hi,
i have recently made an update to the netmap I/O framework
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/
that should make it easier to add netmap support to libpcap.
So I was wondering if there is any interest to implement this
and how we can go for it.
In short (see the webpage for

So, basically if we use a device name like netmap: or vale,
then we would get support for it. Are there dependancies that would
piss off distros that we should worry about? You say that we need netmap,

I think what Michael means is that if we include net/netmap.h and
net/netmap_user.h in the libpcap distribution, we can have the support
always compiled in and postpone the decision at compile time

If you want to plumb things together, do you need libpcap?
the plumbing is done by netmap/vale/netmap pipes
