You mean DLT_LOOP rather than DLT_LOOPBACK (that's what OpenBSD, which 
introduced DLT_LOOP, calls it).

Yes, that's what's different about DLT_LOOP - the address family value is in 
network byte order rather than host byte order.

Note that, if all packets are IPv4 or IPv6 packets, you could also use 
NdisMediumIP, if that means "received and transmitted packets begin with an IP 
header and have no link-layer header", and map that to DLT_RAW.
