RE: documentation of the raw packet interface of QNX 6.4  
Hi Armin:
	The recommended mechanism for accessing raw packets in io-pkt is
through the use of the BPF interface.  

In addition to the io-pkt docs in the doc set, there's also our
networking wiki page hosted here:
http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.networking/wiki/Ho
mePage


The BPF interface is documented here:

ltering_wiki_page

(See the section towards the end where we point to some web based
reference docs)

	Robert.

Hi Robert,

the BPF interface was already available for QNX 6.3 but in the release notes of QNX6.4 was mentioned a new raw ethernet 
interface.

Do we have a new raw ethernet packet interface for QNX6.4 ??

Best Regards

It's BPF.  BPF wasn't officially supported in 6.3.

Hi Armin:
	The BPF interface for 6.3 was only partially implemented.  It
was read only and not shipped as part of general product.
	The fully supported BPF interface is the new raw packet
interface for 6.4.0.  It's also been updated from the latest NetBSD
source, so is more compliant with the existing code base.

	Robert.

notes of QNX6.4 was mentioned a new raw ethernet interface.

Do we have a new raw ethernet packet interface for QNX6.4 ??
