Yup - based on packet.c from the DDK. That's what we did to get truly raw
sockets in the ISS scanner, which is where I think Mudge and Greg got the
idea from. Only problem is that if you want to send anything, you need to
re-invent arp.

What is actually a lot easier to deal with if you don't want access to the
IP header is just to bind a raw socket, and keep calling recvfrom().
