I think the following resources might be useful for your task - also there might be alternatives for the implementation (tcpdump/tethereal-like programs that capture the information you need from a packet socket):

Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition
http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/index.html

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
http://en.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/

Virtual Network Interfaces
http://www.linux.it/~rubini/docs/vinter/vinter.html

Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
http://oopweb.com/OS/Documents/LKMPG/VolumeFrames.html?/OS/Documents/LKMPG/Volume/node11.html

The Linux Kernel API
http://kernelnewbies.org/documents/kdoc/kernel-api/linuxkernelapi.html


Generally it's also a good idea to have a look at http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ and visit the IRC-channel #kernelnewbies at oftc.net.

Bye, Mike
