Comment 1 Alec Moskvin 2011-02-25 00:26:28 UTC 
There's an upstream commit that enables support for libnl-2:
https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/commit/bc937fc4ff6715e9bee939041fa02be0755d7d58

And here's the actual patch:
https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/commit/bc937fc4ff6715e9bee939041fa02be0755d7d58.diff

It works with libpcap-1.1.1-r1.
