I tried this (on kernel 2.4.22) and it works great! > > Hi again, when the problem with VLAN and pcap was solved I found a bug in pcap. The problem is that pcap_setfilter doesn't work correctly when using vlan x. The problem is that pcap don't mask VID. This results in that for packets with priority (802.1q) set to 0 the vlan x filter works fine, but when the packet has a priority != 0 the vlan x fails. An example: If one have a vlan with VID = 2 and sniffing using the filter "vlan 2" packets with priority = 0 will be shown. Changing to priority = 1 the packets wont appear, if one changes the filter to "vlan 8194" the packets will appear. Fixing so pcap will mask the TCI field with "& 0xfff " to get the VID should probably fix this problem. I have try to locate where this check is performed in the pcap code but with no success. I think gencode.c::gen_vlan(vlan_num) has something to do with... Is there someone who knows the pcap code and know where this check is done? I have tried with tcpdump-workers@xxxxxxxxxxx before without any response, is there anyone who knows how to contact the maintainers of the libpcap? Best regards, Christian Darnell
