Hello,

I am running Ethereal on MacOS 10.1.2 and having problems receiving packets
in realtime. What I am seeing looks like Ethereal (or some entity) is
buffering *alot* of packets before finally updating the display capture
window. I was curious if this is normal behavior (I hope not) and am looking
to try and get a "closer to real time" capture window update as packets
arrive. I'm running promiscuous mode captures with no name translation with
live scrolling and realtime update.

The component version numbers of the software I am running are:

Ethereal 0.8.18, GTK+ 1.2.9, Glib 1.2.9, libpcap 0.5, libz 1.1.3

Thanks alot in advance for any info...


Randy
