[HECnet] Apples MAC OS X pcap library...

[Johnny Billquist]

Very possibly. The annoying thing is the fact that tcpdump sees more packets than I (my bridge) do.

Johnny,
Not sure this is related but I tried to run SIMH on OS X over the wireless and DECNET didn't work - it might be more than just a pcap issue, the problem could be OS X's wireless NIC drivers or something.

Do anyone have experience with Apples pcap library? It is supposed to be a plain bsd pcap, but I have a problem that I haven't figured out yet, and thought that maybe someone here already knows, so I don't have to go figure it out myself.

Running my bridge program on MAC OS X, I don't get all packets, but I do get some of them. I can't see a pattern to it.
This is done over wireless ethernet.

The interesting thing is that tcpdump manages to see all of them. I'm very curious on why tcpdump manages to see packets that I don't see... Anyone have any ideas?

Feel free to ask questions. I'll happily explain what I have tested, and done, and whatnot.
