Subject: Raw network packets in kernel

Hi,
I am doing an academic project in which I need to capture the network
packets off the wire. This capturing needs to be done in the kernel
itself as the other component of this project works in the kernel and
takes input from a data structure generated by this packet capturing
module.
I was looking through the kernel code and could not find specific
places where something like a "raw packet" could be found.
Should I capture the packets through the device driver module? 
Or Could someone advise me as to where in the kernel I should look to
get access to the raw data packets?

Thanks,
Rajat Swarup.
