synthetic ethernet


Hi

Has anyone used the synthetic ethernet driver recently? I'm a bit stuck with the rawether utility, which does not seem to work when invoked as a user. I've seen that the Makefile used to install the eth synth host stuff does try to change the rawether user to root and set the suid flag. But even using suid I still get the same permission error everytime:

0Failed to initialize /dev/net/tun, errno Operation not permitted (1)

Running rawether using sudo, it actually seems to work. Now I don't quite see where the difference between the suid and sudo method is?!? But I guess I miss the obvious here ...

Any advice?

Simon
