The only "complication" is that opening a BPF or PF_NDRV socket requires
root access. There is a good example of how to transfer a socket from
one program to another so that your root tool only does one simple
action; open a socket and pass it back to the parent application.

The canonical sample for sending and receiving raw Ethernet packets is BSDLLCTest. This includes the descriptor passing stuff that Duane is referring to.
