SuSE Linux 6.3 - Kernel 2.2.13
ISDN card 'Fritz!PCI' (HiSax module)
Pentium-233, 128 MB RAM
ethereal 0.8.1 / 0.8.2
glib 1.2.6

libpcap 0.4
libpcap-0.4-guy-gerald.patch
gcc 2.95.2
Hi,
I observed something similar as Lothar. I compiled all the source code
on my machine (with standard optimization and then with -O3). Live
capturing of connections to localhost work absolutely perfect. They are
immediately displayed. However, capturing a PPP session (ippp0 on the
ISDN card), something like four or six packets are displayed and then
the application blocks (no repaint of the app window etc).
After I pressed stop capturing, I had to wait approx 15-20 seconds, then
ethereal was up again. It also displayed all the packets (I think there
was no data loss).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Claus
