Hi. Libnet 1.1.1 is up for pre-release and will be feature frozen for the pending actual release a few kinks being ironed out. The following changes have been made:

Added multiple packet interface (called the context queue interface). Until I finish the manpage, see the sample code and README files  for instructions on how it works. Alternately, goto my talk on libnet  1.1.x at CanSecWest in April 2003!
Added an 802.1x builder.
Fixed Cygwin support.
Fixed an OS/X compilation error due to lack of system header files. Fixed OS/X link layer bug.
Fixed a bug in pblock_coalesce() that resulted in bad checksums when the  advanced mode was enabled.

Fixed a potential memory leak in pblock_coalesce().
Fixed a potential memory leak in libnet_select_device().
Fixed a potential memory leak in libnet_plist_chain_new().

Fixed Solaris support for IPv6 address support. Fixed minor bugs in libnet_advanced.c.
Added loopback device support.

I believe there are still a few bugs to be ironed out in the loopback device support in addition to some deeply nested fringe case pblock logic bugs.

Please email me any bugs / patches. Anything substantive, feel free to CC the list.
