libpcap

Hello! I'm writing python program to build mac-address cache using pcap. But pcap module for python has no good documentation. I have found this page http://pylibpcap.sourceforge.net/ with code example and it works fine.

Can anybody modify this example to make it able to show the source mac-address for each packet? Or point me to the documentation where I can read about it ...
