[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] pcap: fix build when pcap_sendpacket is unavailable

[David Marchand]

Before libpcap 1.0.0, pcap_sendpacket was not available on linux targets (unless
backported).
When using such a library, we won't be able to send packet on the wire, yet we
can still dump packets into a pcap file.
