Hello, all! I'm really starting to get into D and am enjoying it. I come from a C# background, so the transition is pretty nice; just the right mix of things I'm familiar with yet learning something new.

I'm starting a project where I need to send a raw UDP packet to a specific MAC address. I've done some tests using a .Net interface to WinPCap and the results were good for what my application need, however a dependency on WinPCap is not acceptable.

In C++, there is an IP_HDRINCL for setsockopt, however I'm not seeing that in D. Am I out of luck in creating the headers for a raw UDP packet?

You can find useful information in
<phobossrc>\phobos\std\c\windows\winsock.d
