It would be more interesting to add it in the next netkit release, is it
possible ? I will help if needed.

Slighly more different: the pacth you mentionned is a modified
uml_switch which can dump packet in cap format file or in a virtual
interface.

My patch doesn't require root right, and can be connected or
disconnected any time during the simulation. Furthermore, it is easily
manageable by netkit script.

Julien.

PS: i also submitted my patch to the UML mailling-list. Hope it would be
merged in trunk of tools module soon.
