I've done tests, and in fact, the problem occurs only when the interface is down. For instance, if I do the following, I get the pcap error: /etc/init.d/networking stop echo 'home peer 192.168.0.1 00:00:c5:b4:98:74' | guessnet --debug -v eth0 I've also tried the --init-time=10 and --init-delay=10 options, but they have no effect. The error disappears after typing "ifconfig eth0 up". The following workaround works: * Create a script /usr/local/sbin/guessnet-wrapper #!/bin/sh ifconfig "$1" up sleep 1 exec guessnet -i "$@" Note: the "sleep 1" is important. * Modify /etc/network/interfaces to use "script guessnet-wrapper" instead of "script guessnet-ifupdown". -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
