freebsd-ports/net/libpcap/pkg-descr

libpcap is a ubiquitous network traffic capture library used by a wide
variety of BSD, Linux and UN*X applications.

Whilst FreeBSD has a vendor branch import of libpcap in its source tree,
the purpose of the port is to provide a means of offering additional,
bleeding-edge features which might not make it into the tree.
Add a port of libpcap 0.8.1. Some work is being done around tcpdump and libpcap right now, in the areas of wireless and mesh networking. Import this port so as not to disturb the vendor branch, and bring the bleeding edge stuff to a wider audience.
