?   Is there a better solution to spoofing my IP then using raw sockets 
(I'm working on a machine with multiple interfaces and need to be able 
to some how specify which interface that traffic needs to be 
sent/recieved to/from)

An oversight on my part and the source of my problem. Thank you.

The source of my confusion is that I need to keep my bytes formated 
correctly.   I am using the below  'raw socket example' proof-of-concept 
code as my example.  (And yes, I have tried the proof-of-concept.  It 
works correctly.  It is not my code.)
dstAddr = "\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06" 
dstAddr1 = "0x010203040506"
dstAddr != dstAddr1

Follow up question:  What is the best to store my bytes up until sending 
the packets?  Perhaps I should use lists of decimal numbers and then 
before sending convert to hex. 
I.E. dstAddr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
dstAddr.prepareToSend()
txFrame = struct.pack("!6s6sh",dstAddr,srcAddr,proto) + ethData

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

Steve

print "ethData length is: " + str(len(ethData))

txFrame = struct.pack("!6s6sh",dstAddr,srcAddr,proto) + ethData          
s.send(txFrame)
