Hi All, I have enabled CONFIG_PACKET option in the snapgear kernel for IXP425 reference platform. I am trying to open a SOCK_PACKET and capture all the ethernet frames coming on "ixp1" eth NPE. But i am not getting any packets to my socket application. I have added few logs and i see the following functions are being invoked. * packet_rcv_spkt * sock_queue_rcv_skb * packet_recvmsg. But then at what circumstansces the packet can not be delievered to the socket application?.. Also i dont want the packets coming on the ethernet interface to be given to the IP stack. Instead i want to capture all the packet by the application. how do i do that? Thanks Vanitha -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
