Raw sockets in CF

[Leonardo Botinelly]

Sires, hihi!

I'm developing a network services test tool, and i'm kinda stuck using
Sockets in Compact Framework.
My target device is a iPaq. The code runs neatly in my normal desktop
environment (when i set the socket to raw mode), but it fails horribly (ie.
raises an exception) when in CF.

Do CF REALLY support raw socket mode, as MSDN says? If it doesn't, there's a
workaround i can use in order to send and receive raw packets in WinCE 4.2?

Thanks for your attention!

Raw sockets are inlcuded in the API. The underlying OS AFAIK does not
support raw sockets.
