You might want to, instead, have a layer that uses standard C types and GLib types and that calls the AirPcap APIs; at some point I plan to add channel-listing and channel-changing APIs to libpcap/WinPcap, and they'll sit atop various OS Wi-Fi channel handling mechanisms, as well as atop the AirPcap driver, and those APIs will just use standard C types or types defined by libpcap.
