An USB pseudo header is prepended to the captured URB to give additional information on URB (type, sender, ecc.).
That pseudo-header is currently in a separate GPL'ed pcap-usb.h header:1) The rest of libpcap is licensed under the Berkeley license, with some of it under the four-clause Berkeley license, which isn't compatible with the GPL:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicensesI don't know what would be required to go to the 3-clause Berkeley license.
2) Should we have separate header files for pseudo-headers defined by libpcap, or should we put them in pcap.h?
The licensing issue also applies to pcap-usb.c.
I used linktype DLT_USER0 for usb devices, but I suppose that should be changed to something new/different.
Yes. We should define DLT_USB in pcap-bpf.h. - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
