If I have nprobe with PF_RING running on a box, and I want to dip in and get

In other word, will running tcpdump interfere with nprobe?

In the past, you had a parameter called 'transparent_mode' that allowed you to 
configure whether captured packets would be copied to the kernel's stack (and 
hence, be 'visible' by libpcap) or not. Now having a look at the code it looks 
like it's deprecated:

kernel/pf_ring.c:
391: MODULE_PARM_DESC(transparent_mode,
392:                  "(deprecated)");

Maybe Luca Deri can put us up to date about why it was deprecated?

Thanks,
Todd
