Hi Jean-Louis, just applied the patches and it compiles and installs
successfully.
Still looks like certain packets are being truncated (mostly URB_ISOCHRONOUS
ones from what I can tell).
Thanks.


now also the mmap mode have snaplen limitation...

try to capture traffic with -s 0 tcpdump option.

i.e. tcpdump -i2 -w file.pcap -s 0

if you would make default maximum, look #DEFINE of DEFAULT_SNAPLEN
in tcpdump/interface.h and tcpdump/netdissect.h

I have found this with

find -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep "DEFAULT_SNAPLEN"

only one question: what you are using for dissect packets?

If response is whireshark, in the dissector for usb raw traffic ther'is some workaround and misunderstood of usb specification... I don't know if "truncate packet" say in whireshark is attendible. If I have free time, this week, I would try to fix this dissector.
