Is the interace on the host usb? If so the you can't capture ethernet framed traffic there, unless your doing something goofy with virtual interfaces.
Pf_ring has many requirements and I'm certain you don't need it for the low throughput of 3G. Stick with libpcap and make sure all your drivers are current. Lastly, maybe get off of usb and use an ethernet port to a 3G router. Maybe Luca has some ideas, cause I'm out! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri Sep 04 19:37:20 2009 Subject: Re: [Ntop] PF_RING for non-eth devices Hello, A few days ago I posted this (plus some more emails): > We have been experiencing packet loss when capturing packets from a 3G > wireless modem using Fedora 10's tcpdump.

In particular, how can I capture ethernet (not USB) traffic from usb0 with PF_RING?
