You may need to reference the card's DLPI device directly. We were having
|
||||
trouble getting Ethereal to capture on an HP-UX 10.20 machine here. I
|
||||
found an article on Deja News that says:
|
||||
|
||||
"To access a particular interface, you would say "tcpdump -i /dev/dlpiN"
|
||||
where N is the PPA of the interface you wish to use. You get the PPA by
|
||||
looking at the output of lanscan. On 10.20, it is the same value as the
|
||||
NMID. On 11.X, it is the Card Instance number."
|
||||
|
||||
This didn't help in our case, but it might in yours. The full article is
|
||||
at http://x34.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=549366486 .
|
||||
|
||||
Another article by the same author mentions that experimental versions of
|
||||
libpcap and tcpdump are available at
|
||||
ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/ . The article itself is at
|
||||
http://x34.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=558665378 .
