There's something like that, the TUN/TAP interface which provides access
to the raw sockets. This is used e.g. by the former ethereal or by
various IPsec/VPN solutions. Don't know about the most recent
development, though.
Depending on the OP's exact requirements, a server (that would have to
run as root or have access to TUN/TAP) that normal programs could
connect to and use as a proxy to access his device might work. That
would save him having to write/install a kernel driver.
