Hi,

The FAQ mentions that libpcap on Linux introduces a 'hang' when
performing a live capture if no packets are being displayed. I have this
same issue on NetBSD. Is this expected? If I switch desktops away from
Ethereal and then back, the capture window is not refreshed and I can't
press the STOP button (until a new packet arrives). Is the patch
applicable to NetBSD too?

Cheers, Greg.
