I am trying to use tcpreplay in a reproduceable way to try out a new piece
of hardware+software that is supposed to listen on our network for "flagged"
items being transmitted on the network.  My bad "stuff" that is supposed to
produce violations in the software are in my pcap, originally recorded on
another network.  When I play the pcap, I get nothing from my snazzy
sniffer, i.e. I get no flagged things.

So to verify that I had configured the sniffer software/hardware correctly,
I manually sent a violation through (via normal SMTP email) and the sniffer
software worked, it flagged the stuff.  I then recorded a pcap (wireshark)
on my network (via same normal SMTP email) with the violation.  And then
replayed the pcap.  And then it didn't catch my violation again.

>From all indications in wireshark, the packets are all there and being
replayed properly, but I can't just can't reproduce the sniffer violating
items when using tcpreplay.

Can someone with more networking expertise tell me why this may be?  I know
the pcap is hitting the destination NIC b/c I can watch the Rx bytes
increase on the sniffing NIC.  Is there something I can do to my pcap to
make this work?
-------
Version 3.4.3
Commands used.
tcpreplay --intf1=eth4 testfile.pcap (sometimes I use --topspeed to make it
just go faster)
also used...
tcprewrite, hardcoding source & destination mac addresses
tcprewrite another time, using pnat to rewrite the original subnet/IP scheme
to new IP/subnet.
Neither time had any effect
Platform
RHEL 5.3 on AMD box
Intel Pro 1000 NIC
Cannot attach pcap
