Hi, I believe that the best approach would be to divert all the traffic from/to the interface you are interested. Connect the 'upper' and 'lower' hooks of the corresponding ng_ether node to a node that implements the functionality you want. By checking the 'type' value in the ethernet header you can find when you are dealing with IP packets, while letting all the others simply pass through.
