<P>The stack driver is the interface between <A href="#libnet">libnet</A> and the real stack behind him,

His purpose is multiple:
<OL>
<LI>Provide the sockets == file descriptors support
<LI>Provide a support for select() on sockets
<LI>Load the network stack at first access, and keep it that way then...
