Hi, I recently updated the port, but didn't see this condition in testing. Are you able to build libpcap *without* using the port from the same tarball? do-patch in the port doesn't touch those files. Leo wrote: Hi All, I want to install libpcap from ports. But when I "make install clean", t

This is just a quick update about some further investigations on this. I tested out the patch that Niki Denev kindly sent me which apparently fixes a length issue when zero copy sockets are not in use. This did not, however, solve the problem, but as part of this I ran tcpdump on the bce0 and bce1
