Re: User-space controlled raw ethernet - Is this the way to go?



Yes, I remember looking into this when I was considering the libpcap
route. But to be honest, I got totally lost, and could find little
examples/further explanation that helped. My conclusion (that might be
totally wrong) was that most of the capabilities stuff is deprecated
(or haeding that way).

That's quite an absurd assumption.

I guess I worded that wrong. What I meant was from what I read at the time, various things suggested that the capabilities framework was on it's way out. I'm happy to be told/proved wrong. I'm certainly no expert in this area.

If you could suggest some good sources of info with regards to capabilities and libpcap, that would be a great help.
