Hello all

I'm doing research on network-layer protocols, so I
need a way to send packets straight into layer 2.  So
far i've been reffered to raw sockets, but i've read
the code and i cannot skip header checking and that
stuff...  Is there a way to interact with the network
if in a way that I can get network parameters (mtu,
etc.) and send packets (specify destination mac
address and payload)??

Thank you

- Daniel
