I had looked at libnet prior to posting, however the first hit on google that 
led to its documentation 
http://libnet.sourceforge.net/libnet.html#Alphabetic%20List%20of%20Functions 
did not seem like it would be helpful; nothing on packet construction.  
libnet.sourceforge sounded like a legit url for libnet.  Thank you for the clue 
as to there being two versions, as I then probed in to more libnet links and I 
found documentation for a seemingly different version here: 
http://linux.die.net/man/3/libnet which seems to have functions to do the kind 
of things I am looking for!

I'll look for where I can get the version of libnet that that man page is 
referring to.
Thanks again,
Gabe-
