Does PSPSDK support SOCK_RAW

Hi,

I haven't tried yet, but I was wondering if the PSPSDK supports the SOCK_RAW option. I want to send ARP packets from the application that I am writing, which would involve using SOCK_RAW

Thanks.

I don't really am into this, but i think i remember of a couple posts discussing it...and if i don't remember wrong the answer was "no, maybe". Try a quick search....

I tried a test program, and while I could open a socket with SOCK_RAW, it didn't act like a raw socket. So the answer seems to be no, the PSP doesn't support raw sockets.

Would a kernel mode PRX help here. Perhaps getting lower down within the network API.

Maybe... haven't tried that. If I do, I'll post the results.
