How about two interfaces - pcap_create() or pcap_activate()?

I can try to shuffle that project ahead in my to-do list.

The variant I'm working on is similar but doesn't limit the values used to set
the parameter to strings (there should probably be numerical values and
"enumerated" values; in a GUI, the former would turn into a numeric text box or
spinbox, and the latter would turn into a combo box/option menu).
