Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Maybe i should post this to the ports list but i figured this is a good place to start. I'm trying to get sniffit to run on a LAN with miserable results. I installed it from the ports tree. I'm running -stable. Here's my output running this program as root of course: {149}# sniffit -F /dev/bpf0 -I Forcing device to /dev/bpf0 (user requested)... Make sure you have read the docs carefully. Supported Network device found. (/dev/bpf0) /dev/bpf0: Device not configured I've read the docs as it said and can't find anything I missed, I also searched the maillist archives for any clues but no such luck. Tcpdump seems to work fine as well as other apps that use bpf0 so i'm fairly certain that I got that part correct in the kernel, also the ethernet card works without fail. My card is device xl0. I've tried many things to "configure" this device including ./MAKEDEV /dev/bfp0, setting more generous permissions, etc. Anyone who's gotten sniffit to work have any special tips? TIA.
