pcap_findalldevs() failing on FreeBSD 7.2

I've got a user of tcpreplay having issues where his interfaces are not being returned via pcap_findalldevs() under FreeBSD 7.2 using libpcap 0.9.7. I don't have much more information unfortunately, but I do know he has an "nVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Ethernet" NIC as well as the obvious loopback. I've confirmed he is running as root and the interface is up: nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> ether 00:1e:8c:b1:de:91 inet 192.168.1.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex,flag0,flag1>) status: active Actually, none of his interfaces are being returned (nfe0, nfe1 and lo0). I looked in the change log and don't see any mention of any improvements/fixes in pcap_finalldevs() since 0.9.7 so I figured I'd mention it. User has since switched to Linux which works fine, so more of a FYI then anything. -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Windows Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
