I don't have one handy, but basically you have to hack libpcap a bit
to push the generated filters using SO_ATTACH_FILTER onto a socket.

The format (LPF) understood by the kernel is a superset of the BPF
stack machine code generated by libpcap. See linux/filter.h and the BPF
documentation.

It's main drawback is that it doesn't support variable length headers
properly.
