according to the kernel sources for BPF, you read size must equal the packet buffer size (change 500 to 4096). I would think you need to place the interface into promiscuous mode if you want to access non-local packets, I also think you need to place a filter (even if the filter says that you want everything). you may wish to look at pcap(3) and tcpdump(8) for programming help. --mark.
