  Description     : libdnet provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level networking routines

- From the homepage:

libdnet provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level networking routines, including

    * network address manipulation
    * kernel arp(4) cache and route(4) table lookup and manipulation
    * network firewalling (IP filter, ipfw, ipchains, pf, PktFilter, ...)
    * network interface lookup and manipulation
    * IP tunnelling (BSD/Linux tun, Universal TUN/TAP device)
    * raw IP packet and Ethernet frame transmission 

new version from snort need this.
    
Problem is, that this lib name conflicts with libdnet from the dnprogs. But i think, that the packages can be renamed in a new release.

Regards,
Thomas
