Hi,

I know (or at leat I think to know :) that many of you use Linux.

So do I (normaly) BUT: I installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 this weekend.

AND:
    Ethereal 0.3.14 does compile with FreeBSD 2.2.7
    (there is a small bug -> see below) 


System FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE 
(comes with gtk 1.0.4 (in the ports-dir) and libpcap-2.2)

minor Problems: 

*) there is no DLT_RAW, but a DLT_NULL constant (as used in packet.h)
   -> how do we handle ports ? -> should I make a ifdef in the .c file
      or move the whole bunch of system dependend stuff in a header ?

*) ATTENTION: there is a special pseudo-device bpfilter which 
   has to be compiled into the Kernel to enable the promisc mode
   capability of the ethernet card -> maybe I should write a
   README.FreeBSD ?


CU
   Hannes
