Hi:
  I just got started working with pcaplib (so this is probably a stupid
question from a newbie), but anyway - in the pcap programming sample, the
device netmask is handed to pcap_compile.  However, the capture being done
is in promiscuous mode.  What if the network mask for your capture does
not
match the network mask for the network you are monitoring?
Follow that stupid question up with this one - why does pcap_compile even
NEED the netmask if you're not using any 'net' rules?  and does it matter
what you give it in the instance of capturing a rule such as 'port 23'?
