Hi Karl, Present! The developer has still brainwave and currently trying to refrain his daytime employer to kick him out.
Indeed, thanks for flagging the compilation issue; as this is bound to a specific DLT definition, i was actually wondering whether the underlying problem is more a stale version of the pcap library (maybe shipped with the OS) rather than the OS per-se. Skimming quickly through the libpcap code, this seems to be the case. This might move the patch to the configuration for compilation - ie. a requirement for a minimum version of the pcap library. Unfortunately i don't have access to any OpenBSD at the moment; is that something you can give it a try? Cheers, Paolo On Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 10:16:00AM -0600, Karl O.
