Sorry, I recompiled the drivers from SVN version before your mail arrived.

The actual contents of the file:

# cat  /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/eth4/info
Name:              eth4
Index:             8
Address:           AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Polling Mode:      NAPI/ZC
Type:              Ethernet
Family:            Intel ixgbe 82599
Max # TX Queues:   1
# Used RX Queues:  1
Num RX Slots:      32768
Num TX Slots:      32768

With this drivers snort seems to work:

*# /usr/local/snort/bin/snort --daq-dir /usr/local/lib/daq/ --daq pfring_zc
--daq-var clusterid=99 -i zc:eth4 -v -e *
Running in packet dump mode

The odd thing now is that the expected version of the firmware (3.22.3) and
what modinfo shows doesn't match:

*# modinfo ixgbe*

Also, a noob question: Now that I have the compiled from source drivers
instead of the rpm version, when a kernel update occurs, I'm going to need
to recompile the drivers again?

Thank you very much.
