Subject: issues with mmap() on raw socket with rx_ring

hi all,

i tried to follow the procedures described in
Documentation/networking/packet_mmap.txt to
create an "zero copy" rx_ring for packet capturing.

i've attached an simple example and my output (see test_mmap.txt).
despite i compiled
the 2.6.30 kernel with CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=y it won't work.

mem'mapping to the socket buffer always fails with -EINVAL and i have
no clue why.... :-/

do you have any idea?

thanks for help
