I was digging around, trying to understand whether libpcap can get HW
time stamps via the packet_mmap interface, and I found this.

 commit 614f60fa9d73a9e8fdff3df83381907fea7c5649

    packet_mmap: expose hw packet timestamps to network packet capture utilities

Maybe you could ask Scott for help?

[ It looks to me like that patch is kinda useless, since the user has
  no way to tell whether the time stamps are from HW or SW. ]

HTH,
Richard
