Hi,
System setup : Beaglebone Black with Debian from SD card, Ethernet and Wifi. Cross compiling on Windows 7 machine. Running program in debug mode via Eclipse (Win7) using gdb as debugger Problem: I am writing an application that requires ethernet and wifi (via usb) on the beaglebone black. My problem is that I need to point some TCP sockets to the Ethernet port but by default Linux os decides what is best so chooses wifi! So to get around this I use struct ifreq ifr; memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr)); snprintf(ifr.ifr_name, sizeof(ifr.ifr_name), interface); ioctl(TsocketId, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr); error = setsockopt(socketId, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, (void*)&ifr, sizeof(ifr)); However setsockopt always returns an error *EPERM which is Operation Not Permitted (or similar). I have tried the simpler form of passing 'eth0' in, also with the same results.* *After much reading on the internet it appears that I need extra rights to run this command.* *I am struggling at this point* *I have set the file permissions to include chmod u+s --- made no difference* *I have edited sudoers to giv**e admin users sudo privileges (I believe my debian user is one as now I don't have to enter a password everytime I type sudo..)* # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL This also made no difference. My application is running under the debian user Any help much appreciated..
