Hello all,

I've spent many hours this morning trying to get the tcpdump application
that is included with the PF_RING source to use PF_RING.
I've read the and followed the directions in README.FIRST, succesfully
compiled PF_RING and the userland, loaded the pf_ring.ko module, all good.

I tested pf ring with pfcount/pcount and it reported 0 drops in packets when
using iperf and generating 800Mbps. Sweet!

I'm running tcpdump IN the userland directory to test it with PF_RING.
However, the results are no different than with my normal tcpdump i.e.
dropping tons of packets.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the sources in
userland would be PF_RING "ready" after building the userland.
$ ldd ./tcpdump
linux-vdso.so.1
libpthread.so.0
libc.so.6
/lib/ld-linux-x86064.so.2

I looked at this and was thinking that it wasn't compiled with the custom pf
ring libraries since I didn't see libpfring etc. but then I went to the
examples directory and did an ldd on pcount and pfcount and they reported
the same libraries.

As of now, I don't know whether it's a library issue or not.

Thanks
