Hi,
I noticed that raw sockets created with
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_IP))
and a later
setsockopt(... ADD_MEMBERSHIP (PROMISC)...)
do not receive outgoing packets. Just changing the protocol to ETH_P_ALL (or a later bind with that proto) will get all packets. Is this intentional? (I don't think so *g*) Any idea for a quick fix?
Ciao, ET.
PS: Btw, if anyone got Oopses with the defxx.c fddi driver he should undefine the DYNAMIC_BUFFERS symbol. There's an unchecked dev_alloc_skb in the driver that tries to get a large buffer (fddi pkt size + a little bit, 4.5k) and that one fails occasionally.
PPS: the PACKET_RX_RING is really great!!!
