Hi Giovanni, I don't know for certain what's happened either, although I can confirm that after installing libpcap version 0.9-PRE-CVS (from Git), the any device is no longer available. Hopefully a fix will come from someone soon. Slightly off-topic: The Bluetooth capturing devices don't; seem to work properly either (they don't appear in the device list until I start a PPP session for some reason, and even then, no packets are collected despite being counted).

As reported in man: pcap_create() is used to create a packet capture handle to look at packets on the network. source is a string that specifies the network device to open; on Linux systems with 2.2 or later kernels, a source argument of "any" or NULL can be used to capture packets from all interfaces. block1: if ((m_pcapfp = pcap_create("any", errbuf)) == NULL) cout << "NULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"; pcap_set_snaplen(m_pcapfp, PKTMAX); pcap_set_promisc(m_pcapfp, 0); pcap_activate(m_pcapfp); block2: if (pcap_open_live("any", PKTMAX, 0, -1, errbuf) == NULL) {cout << errbuf; return;} just block told me that: SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device All what worked before doesn't work now anymore. :( If I use NULL no block tell me that there is a problem. I got crash on (FD_SET): #ifdef HAVE_PCAP_GET_SELECTABLE_FD m_pcap_fd = pcap_get_selectable_fd(m_pcapfp); #else m_pcap_fd = pcap_fileno(m_pcapfp); #endif FD_ZERO(&m_fdset); FD_SET(m_pcap_fd, &m_fdset); What's happening?
