Re: Problem w/Latest version of Libnet on Solaris sparc...

This is not a bug, this is how the Solaris kernel handles raw IP 
packets. Check out doc/RAWSOCKET_NON_SEQUITUR for more information. If 
this behavior is a problem, use libnet's link layer interface 
(LIBNET_LINK*) instead of the raw socket interface (LIBNET_RAW*).
