Title
Address family not supported by protocol error when using udhcp client
 
Case: 1228791
 
Date Fixed: 04/02/07
 
Description
If you need the udhcp client on CC9U/UNC90 with LxNETES-3.2, and are getting the error message: Address family not supported by protocol, you need the kernel module af_packet.
 

Solution
To enable this:
· Run xconfig or menuconfig in your build directory 
· Check (as static module): Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> Networking Options -> Packet socket
· Save the config 
 
Instead you can also manually change: 
· linux/.config: CONFIG_PACKET=y 
 
To avoid the problem for newly created projects, change the following line in your installation:
 
In the file: LxNETES-3.2/etc/kernel-config-unc90dev.in
Change
# CONFIG_PACKET is not set 
to
CONFIG_PACKET=y
