ERROR: OpenPcap() device em0 open

["Matthew K. Lee" <mattl () rycan com>]

To all who can help:

I have a FreeBSD system that's having some issues.  I'm trying to build
and run snort-2.2.0.  I also get the same issue with the 2.1.3 version
from the ports collection.  

----------------------------------------------
Here's the error snort produces
----------------------------------------------
router# /usr/local/bin/snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort.conf -i em0
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort

Initializing Network Interface em0
ERROR: OpenPcap() device em0 open:
        (no devices found) /dev/bpf0: Device not configured
Fatal Error, Quitting..


----------------------------------------------
Here's the system information:
----------------------------------------------
The system has two Intel Gigabit Ethernet cards (em0 and em1).  I've got
libpcap (v. 0.8.3) installed.  I've successfully compiled snort with the
following commands:

./configure --with-mysql and --with-flexresp
make
make install

The kernel is custom built with bpf support enabled.  Here's the
important info from uname -v:

FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #5: Mon Aug  2 13:54:29 CDT 2004

----------------------------------------------
Here's my question
----------------------------------------------
Is the problem related to GigE and libpcap, or have I done something
else wrong during the compile?  What can be done to fix the issue?

Thanks,

Matthew Lee
