Yeah, I just found that. I would feel stupid except for the fact that we
don't have any documentation on the data structures. Maybe that's a good
thing because a developer can't trust any of the code that isn't under his
control; or maybe that's a bad thing because people like me ask stupid
questions.
I guess the bottom line is that the data structures available to developers
should be documented and have standard calls (macros) to access the data.

It's so possible that it's already been done.
Check out the "pi" global variable, which is a "packet_info" structure;
it has source and destination addresses in the "src" and "dst" structure
members, and source and destination port numbers in "srcport" and
"destport".
