The check is done so early that we can't reasonably know yet if we really
need to be root. For VDE, root is unneeded, but for the other interface
methods it is.
However it turns out that Linux bridges are useless, since they freeze
the network when they are actually used (see http://www.microhowto.info/troubleshooting/troubleshooting_ethernet_bridging_on_linux.html#idp86992 )
"The machine appears to freeze
As noted above, adding an interface to a bridge causes it to
stop acting as an Internet Protocol endpoint. This could result
in the machine appearing to freeze.
"The underlying issue is that when an interface is attached to
a bridge then any network addresses need to be bound to the
bridge, not to the interface."
That makes them useless to configure temporarily without disturbing
the rest of the network traffic.
The goal is to retire KLH10_NET_BPF, _PFLT, _DLPI and _LNX as much as possible.
However where ethernet addresses are manipulated, such operating system dependent methods still need to be used, since libpcap does not handle that.
Code for the other packet filters is still included but most likely does not work.
To use the new code, add -DKLH10_NET_PCAP to the Makefile(s).
