Kernel seems to be dropping raw eth1 packets

Hi!

I have a tiny test application which is sending packets on two ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth1, by supplying IP_PKTINFO in the sendmsg program. However, while the same code works for eth0 and lo, the eth1 packets are never sent, and sendmsg never gives me an error. Seems like the kernel drops those packets silently.

I have tried a SO_BINDTODEVICE on the raw socket, and also passed the index of the interface after I retrieve it using ioctl on an ifreq structure. Neither of them have succeeded.

Kindly cc me to the reply, since I am not subscribed to the mailing list.

Thanks and Regards

Pratik
