Use libipq, it's the easiest way to send packet to userspace and put
them back in the network stack. The man page contains some examples. 

For a more concrete example you can have a look at the nufw project
(http://www.nufw.org).
The file src/nufw/packetsrv.c and src/nufw/authsrv.c contain code
example.
