BPF is compatible with Ethernet and 802.11.

 From an application's perspective, 802.11 and Ethernet should be  
roughly the same.

The link-level stuff you need to worry about is probably just the  
IPv4 link-local address selection, right?  Have you considered  
implementing that using SOCK_RAW instead of BPF?
