You may want to read the Raw IP Networking FAQ -
http://www.whitefang.com/rin/ . It refers to a C library and Python bindings
for it called "py-libpap".

There's quite a lot you need to learn, I think. This isn't all that simple.
Which is good, otherwise we'd get all kinds of random script kiddies messing
around with sniffers and raw sockets :)

HTH.
