Thread: 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

i was looking through the search results, but there was no solution
showing up.

would anyone of mind to help me please?
