by the way pcap gives some errors on x86_64 but builds, but on i386 it

The pcap code is correct for both cases.
I guess you've been in a hurry - on i386 likely you don't have libpcap-devel
(or such) installed (you also need libpcap.a), on x86_64 those
"errors" (since it builds) are warnings - even if it's a statically linked
binary it can't run standalone, because it needs NSS which can't be
statically linked (those libraries are loaded with dlopen()).
Obviously, I don't know what happened actually because you don't tell it, I
guessed the most likely causes.
you called it right. once I re-added libpcap-dev (I still don't understand
why it had been on the distro before and had been removed) it compiles
with just the same warnings as on x86_64 (and my apologies for the
imprecise language). I'm not used to the kernel relying on userspace apps
so it didn't occur to me to check for that (and I don't remember anything
in the error message to suggest that there was a missing lib, but I may
not have looked far enough up in the error messages to catch it)
thanks for helping me out with this, and sorry for the flood of questions.
