hi
1.   i've created a socket using the foll call
     socket(AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET,ETH_P_IP) to receive IP frames     from     
DL layer. i've a doubt in this. Will the received frame have CRC check 
(4bytes in Ethernet) or will it be stripped by the hardware itself. secondly 
iam writing a sniffer as a basic for ids. i want to minimise packet loss. 
what  should i do. will it be solved by increasing the buffer size.
could somebody sugest some sites for SOCK_RAW programming tips and 
tutorials. thanks in advance
bye
