No timeout in pcap.next(), setnonblock() not working correctly about pypcap HOT 6 CLOSED

Any chance that this patch (or something similiar) will be applied?
Scapy's Windows port would tremendously benefit from that. 
We've been shipping our own patched pypcap version [1] for over a year now and 
it
works nicely on Windows XP, but there are problems with Vista and I'd rather 
point
our users to the official pypcap version.

Thanks again for developing this nice library.

Applied. I truly apologize for the delay. Jeez. Life.

Thank you very much for the fix!

My patch had a little error: in the docstring for the pcap class (line 149) 
"immediate=False, timeout_ms=None" should be switched to truly correspond with
pcap.__init__(). Maybe you'll want to change that. 

Thanks again,
Dirk

I did the change in the docstrings (also in the first line of the docstrings).

however this patch was a bit broken, you can see a new one checked in as r94 if 
you are interested.

Yes, but if you check well in the code the select try to read on the 
filedescriptor every 1 second. Why setting a timeout if it doesn't return 
anything below 1 second ?
And plus from my C knowledge i think the timeout should be set in the for loop 
and not outside.

I think this library need an heavy rewrite.
