master raw device?

hi
this code here should simply create a socket.

Code:

---

/*...*/
  int sockfd;
  if((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 0)) < 0)
      perror("socket");
  else
      return 0;
/*...*/
}

---

when i compile my code i get no warnings but when running the program
linux tells me:
"cannot open master raw device: '/dev/rawctl' (no such file.....)

i am running knoppix booting from cd, if that helps.

thanks
cu
