Are you sure you need to use pthreads?  I had a multiplexing problem with
pcap which i solved by setting up a callback function (using
g_io_channel_unix_new) for the listen file descriptor in the pcap
structure (pcap->fd) for the read condition.
Then when there is a packet to be read by pcap, the callback is called,
and you can call pcap_next() to get it.
