If it's compiled on

        1) a Linux distribution with the right headers to allow it to support 
memory-mapped capture

or

        2) a FreeBSD release with memory-mapped capture support

and it's running on

        1) a Linux distribution whose kernel supports memory-mapped capture

or

        2) a FreeBSD release that supports memory-mapped capture

then, unless some part of setting up memory-mapped capture fails, it will use 
it.-
