Does libpcap qualify? There’s this:

    https://github.com/davelambert/guile-pcap

A quick look at the code suggests that it’s a fairly direct mapping of the
libpcap C API, and probably no longer maintained as the last commit was 9
years ago. Before I realized that existed, I started my own libpcap binding
for Guile, mostly as a learning exercise. It’s perhaps a bit more bespoke,
but not yet ready for release.
