Package: netdiag Version: 0.7-7 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/trafshow With hostap and the 2.6.8 kernel, each wireless NIC gets two interfaces, wlanN and wifiN:
wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-02-6F-08-0E-2C-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:416458 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:244433 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:525611268 (501.2 MiB) TX bytes:30101461 (28.7 MiB) Interrupt:209 Base address:0x100 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:6F:08:0E:2C inet6 addr: fe80::202:6fff:fe08:e2c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:416453 errors:0 dropped:2 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:244431 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:518114972 (494.1 MiB) TX bytes:30101448 (28.7 MiB) Interrupt:209 Base address:0x100 While tcpdump has no problem working with either one, trafshow hearily dislikes wifi0. If I run trafshow with no parameters, or with -i wifi0, I get the following repeated thousands of times, stair-stepping down my display: Unknown family 801 (if wifi0) Unknown family 801 (if wifi0) Unknown family 801 (if wifi0) Trafshow should deal with this better, so running it without -i is useful again. -- see shy jo
