Ok...
There are too much little things to fix to have a central maintainer, IMHO.
And nobody volunteered, sadly, and I can't either.
Is there really that much to fix? T

cat tcpdump.pcap | switch_mon_tool --socket /tmp/uml.mon --delay 100ms
is the type of functionality I'm shooting for
physical hardware.
I'm eating my own dog food (since I too suggested a monitor port), and I've
