Package: libpcap0.8-dev
Version: 0.9.8-5
Severity: normal
According to man pcap: "pcap_lookupnet() is used to determine the network
number and mask associated with the network device".
In fact the value in *netp is set to the address masked with the value in
maskp (i.e. *netp &= *maskp).

pcap_lookupnet() behaves as expected and as documented, so I'm
