send/receiving raw ethernet frames
问题 I've to write an application on Linux that has the requirement to talk with a device with custom Ethernet type. There are many solutions even in SO how to write such an application. A drawback is that for this root access is needed (AFAIK). Releasing the root rights afterwards could be an option, but it raises the problem that the program is developed in an IDE, which I don't like to run as root. In my special case the main application is written in Python which would mean to give root access
