Hi Luca!
the exact setup is:
- br0 bridging eth0 with eth1
- igb 2.0.6, and PF_RING 4.2.0
- pfcount -i eth0

When Trasnsparent=0, both
 pfcount -i eth0 -e 1
and
 pfcount -i eth0 -e 2
show traffic.

When Transparent=1, "-e 1" shows traffic, but "-e 2" shows 0 packets.

No other captures (or snorts) are running at the time this tests are made.

Can this be worked around?

Thanks!
