Hi,

I've found a simple way to overcome the issue: just make libnet reuse the libpcap descriptor on the DLPI device (can be obtained via pcap_getfileno). To do it one needs to add a variant on libnet_init that does not try to perform libnet_open_link, but simply assigns the descriptor.

If there's any better way please let me know. Thanks!

Best regards,
J.
