This error is exactly telling you what is wrong. There is no eth0 device. Just compiling drivers into L4Linux doesn’t magically gives you an ethernet device (like it is the case for native Linux). You will need to give L4Linux access to a corresponding hardware device.

I recommend trying your application with the local loopback device first. You can even do that on your host Linux first before moving on to L4Linux.

Matthias.
