[@ALL] why is this "-k none" suddenly needed more and more in recent months??
we've never used it in any of our snort installations... is it special to a
certain set of NICs?? [/@ALL]

i understand that but /why/ is it needed now and hasn't been needed before? is 
it for server grade NICs only? does it have to do with the quantity of traffic 
flowing? is it related to gigabit NICs?
