hi all, little socket question. In Developer Handbook, chapter 5.5, i can see the following: "...If you wanted to be in charge of the low-level protocols (such as IP), or even network interfaces (e.g., the Ethernet), you would need to specify SOCK_RAW ..." PF_INET socket, with type SOCK_RAW, always incapsulates data into IP datagram, so how can i control link level stuff using socket interface ? i looked over PF_LINK socket, so i did socket(PF_LINK, SOCK_RAW, 0); and got `unsupported protocol' error message, quick grep on DOMAIN_SET in /usr/src/sys says that PF_LINK domain is not registered. so, the question is: how can i control link-level headers using socket interface ? thanks, -sergey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
