Unfortunately, success w/ 2.2 doesn't mean much WRT 2.2.9x - there's A LOT of differences, key among these are much more extensive use of mutexes, which is what *seems* to be causing a lot of the problems. In fact, the differences are so extensive that we'll probably end up calling the next release 3.0 - totally new interface, redone internals, lots of cleanup and bug fixes, etc.

The latest I've tried it on is 4.8-RELEASE-p10. I've installed it from the baseline tarball d/l'd from sourceforge.net and have yet to find a FBSD RELEASE that doesn't run NTOP at all, since 4.5-RELEASE. (BTW, I *know* this isn't the absolute latest release, but so far I've been working from a CD that The largest net I've used NTOP with is a /25 public net connected to a T1 on a 4.8-RELEASE box w/ a 1GHZ PIII and 128MB of RAM. I do have some issues w/ it, but it does operate and provides good network monitoring facils.
