Hi,

I have installed the tcpdump with the libpcap library and it work correctly with '-i /dev/dlpi0'.

I also installed the ethereal with its prereqs (libg, zlib,gtk+ and libpcap (already installed)), the graphical user interfce is fine, but when I try to start a capture session I got the following error:

Can't use filter: Couldn't obtain netmask info (SIOCGIFADDR: /dev/dlpi0: invalid argument).

I run the ethereal program as root.

Any idea.

Thanks
