The diverter is not used for redirecting a packet to another interface.
What it does (IIRC) is overwrite the destination MAC address on selected
packets so that the local host will process them. You can do the same
thing with iptables' "-j REDIRECT" but the diverter was made for use on
ethernet bridges (REDIRECTing bridged packets) when the bridge-nf stuff
didn't exist yet.
Nowadays we have bridge-nf and you should be able to do the same thing
by just using '-j REDIRECT' as you would do with routing (Bart, please
correct me if I'm wrong there.)
