You might want to explore the possibilities of the existing "ip_queue"
kernel extension instead, it was design to do packet
capture/inspection/changing in userspace.

FireFlier works that way ( http://fireflier.sourceforge.net/ ) and so
does inlined snort (http://www.snort.org/docs/snort_manual/node7.html).

You can take a look at:
http://www.linuxia.de/netfilter.en.html#userspace and
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~nakao/libipq.htm for an example application.
