RE: Sending Ethernet frames

2005-03-21 Thread Don Bowman
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrik Arlos
 Hi,
 
  
 
 I'm trying to send 'raw' Ethernet frames. I have however not 
 found any examples of how to do this in BSD. 
 
 Is it possible to open a 'ethernet' socket, similar to a 
 AF_INET?  I need to be able to control the destination 
 address and type/len field in the Ethernet header. 
 
 In Linux it is possible open a SOCK_RAW and bind it to a 
 particular interface, I've tried to use the sockadd_dl but in 
 this case bind dies with error 22, any way to do this? 

You can chmod +w on /dev/bpf* and then open  write to a bpf
device.

It may be a good idea to investigate if libnet does your job.

The ports version (net/libnet-devel) is based on libnet-1.1.2.1.  Mike
Schiffman, who writes libnet may have a newer version on his site:

If you do decide to use libnet, I also have a few local patches that may
be interesting; mostly updates lto ibnet's build tree that use the
latest automake and autoconf or changes to libtoolize libnet; these are
local hacks though.

Consider using bpf(4) in read/write mode.

you can also do it via netgraph(4)
