Net::Write::Layer2 - object for a link layer (layer 2) descriptor

Attributes

dev The string specifying network interface to use.

           Under Unix-like systems, this is in this format: \w+\d+ (example: eth0).

           Under        Windows        systems,        this        is        more        complex;       example:
           \Device\NPF_{0749A9BC-C665-4C55-A4A7-34AC2FBAB70F}
