Hi,

Please confirm that you are using the 0.2 release of LibDAQ.  There were 
changes to the AFPacket code between 0.1 and 0.2 that fixed an issue 
with this symptom.  You can check the version of the AFPacket DAQ module 
by passing the --daq-list switch to Snort; it should be v2 if it is from 
the 0.2 release.

-Michael
