Hi Craig - Like Mark said, it comes on that version of SuSE. It works ok, but you might want to upgrade to a newer version if you want to use Ethereal or anything that uses the callback interface for packet traces. There are some issues with older versions, not really bugs, just differences of opinion between some apps and the libs ;-) SuSE 7.0 also shipped with a libpcapn, which I think was a patched version of libpcap. I moved up to the latest version so Ethereal would work better. Here's a paper I wrote on the subject: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/ldt/netdebug.html Also, your previous question about promiscuous copy is answered in the paper (Sorry, I missed that question when you asked before) Hope that helps!
