Please just move this to a separate cmd/pcap.c instead of this ifdef.

Maybe move this call inside of eth_send().

It seems like an error should be printed the first time the limit is
hit, not just wait until a status is requested.

You should also provide an env variable of the size so that users can
use that to write to a file.

Something like: env_set_hex("pcapsize", pos);
