Many versions of libpcap have code from Sebastian Krahmer in them.
Which particular patch from Sebastian do you want?

OK, you want the "make libpcap on Linux not suck" changes from Torsten
Landschoff and Sebastian. Those were added in libpcap 0.6.

See the CHANGES file in the libpcap source:
Tuesday January 9, 2001. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Summary for 0.6 release
New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
> Or ... is the latest libpcap (version 0.71) has already included this patch?
Yes, and so did 0.6, 0.6.1, and 0.6.2.
