The dvb_net interface was meant for IP-via-DVB applications, where
doing MPE (or ULE) processing in userspace would mean
- copying packets to userspace for unpacking / processing
- copying network packets back into kernel
- so that other applications can copy them back from kernel via socket
-> too much overhead

For DVB-H it might be easier to just do it all in userspace, using the
section filter API. Evaluating the data_broadcast_descriptor is the
most complicated part of it ;-), the code for handling the sections
can be copied from dvb-apps/test/test_dvr.c and dvb_net.c, plus you
need to handle the IP+UDP headers (which I think isn't too complicated
for broadcast data, but I have no clue about DVB-H ;-/).

Another way would be to extend the NET_ADD_IF API to include
MAC_address_range. However, I think the MAC from the MPE packet
should always be copied completely, just the section filter
mask (mask_normal etc. in dvb_net.c) should be changed.

HTH,
