The standard libpcap compiled for Linux has a timeout problem; it
|
|
doesn't support the timeout argument to "pcap_open_live()".
|
|
|
|
The current version of Ethereal attempts to work around this, so its GUI
|
|
shouldn't freeze when capturing on a not-so-busy network. If its GUI
|
|
does freeze when that happens, please send a note about this, indicating
|
|
which version of which distribution of Linux you're using, and which
|
|
version of libpcap you're using, to ethereal-dev@zing.org.
|
|
|
|
The current version of Ethereal should work with versions of libpcap
|
|
that have been patched to fix the timeout problem, as well as working
|
|
with unpatched versions.
