Currently when 8021x is in use (via chewie helper) we need to run faucet as root to bind to a raw NFV socket.

Some potential fixes:

  • Investigate a framework for running separate NFV helper applications along side faucet
  • Use linux capabilities to grant chewie CAP_NET_RAW

This also impacts the ability to run our faucet unit tests as a non-root user.

Looks like the chewie unit tests when run as standard user will emit errors that they couldn't get a raw socket.
