FYI, I experienced similar bug with Kondara, the japanese distribution (http://www.kondara.org/) uses 2.2.x kernel. In that case, IPv6-patch changed libpcap's behavior about promiscuous mode to incompatible with kernel.
A patch from Tatsuo Sekine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fixed this bug. Kondara's newer kernel package includes this patch. I checked Kondara with 2.4.0test which I compiled, and I can see same bug. I guess 2.4.x kernels also require similar fix. ************************************************ * Kazutoshi Morioka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * * Fukuoka, Japan http://k-pup.sunaba.net/bbs1/ * ************************************************
