[Click] Help! - Logging packets to /proc

[Roman Chertov]

The driver is part of Click actually.  It is just a gateway from Click 
to user level land.  I've been able to achieve 500Kpackets/s in some 
test cases through this interface which is much better than libpcap.
I will post the driver code in a few days once I am back from 
Thanksgiving travel.
