Hi,

did you check out how qemu solves this? they basically give you a virtual 
device in the emulator that offers dhcp and packets going out originate as 
coming from the application (qemu) itself. Since it's open code you could take 
a peek. I don't think any AF_PACKET code is involved in this, it might not be 
what you want.
