Re: rpcap support?

[Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de>]

Hello,

I've created a patch that actually manages to build into an rpm on my
opensuse system. Wireshark HEAD also detects rpcap support when buiding with
cmake. Now all I have to do is wait for the equipment to come back to
do a real test...
The patch can be downloaded from:
http://www-agrw.informatik.uni-kl.de/home/jmayer/rpcap.v2.patch

I'd really like to receive some feedback on this.

ciao
     Joerg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
