libpcap for linux with MMAP capabilities

[Phil Wood <cpw () lanl gov>]

Folks,

This message is for savey linux/snort users who might have heard rumblings
about a shared memory ring buffer originally made possible by Alexey Kuznetsov.

I've been using his implimentation in a modified form for some time, and
recently made a patchfile using the libpcap-current found at tcpdump.org.
That was on Mar 20, 2002.  If you want to try snort and/or tcpdump with
these new changes I would take a look at the attached script to build
a libpcap with the MMAP capability.

On the otherhand, you could wait for tcpdump.org to verify the patches I
have submitted and then try it.

Onwards and upwards,
