[PD] pdpcap 0.0.4 network sniffer new version

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Jordi,

I was trying this on Ubuntu last night and the objects were all  
crashing.  I didn't fix it, but I tracked it down to this line in  
pcap_device_ipaddr4():

sprintf(x->x_host_ip, "%s", inet_ntoa(((struct sockaddr_in  
*)&ifr.ifr_addr)->sin_addr));

Also one problem: since your project now has a "pcap.h" that is easily  
confused with libpcap's pcap.h.  I think the pcap.h file should have a  
different name, perhaps pdpcap.h.

I'm eager to sonify my networks!

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more  
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,  
it can change entire economies.     - Amy Smith
