Hi, I'm trying to use raw sockets in python for a dhcp client. I write this code :
soc = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW) soc.bind(("eth0",0x0800)) data = soc.recv(1024) print len(data) It seems to work correctly when interface is up, but when network interface is down I get this message : socket.error: (100, 'Network is down') I look over a lot of C code of dhcp clients. But I didn't find something useful. I don't how to access the network when interface is down with python. Can someone helps ? Thanks ! -- Mat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
