The standard libpcap compiled for Linux has a timeout problem.
|
|
If you use Ethereal with this libpcap on a not-so-busy network, at
|
|
times you will see that the Ethereal GUI freezes. It will freeze until
|
|
one more packet is received.
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.4 of libpcap this problem still exists. This is the
|
|
version of libpcap that comes with the standard Linux distributions.
|
|
If the freezing really annoys you, you can apply a patch to the libpcap
|
|
source code.
|
|
|
|
Libpcap can be obtained from ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov

You can download the Linux patch at http://ethereal.zing.org/~gerald/
