Is it possible to disable network protocols,but keep drivers

[bdgong]

Hi there~I wanna do some stuff like as simple self-implementation of network protocols stack, and I use libpcap to catch and inject packet directly with network card driver. Now my question is, whether I can disable the network protocols stack, but keep network card drivers works well?

Appreciate any of your help:)

There are both kernel and gnu userland components involved with networking. For example, the linux kernel has wireless drivers but wpa_supplicant is in userland. The kernel has Realtek NIC drivers but dhcp is in userland. Rather than disabling/removing network protocols just do not implement them.

In some ways, your question is like an answer from a Politician.

Well, I am not familiar with GNU/Linux kernel, but, the network protocols such as ARP(IP) is implemented in kernel, isn't it ?

Rather than disabling/removing network protocols just do not implement them.

If it is, then I have to get the source code and compile it without network protocols part, there is no other options, as you said "do not implement them", do I get it?
