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

[Jason Stevens]

sounds like a broke filter...?

I do recall it is quite touchy, and that when I used to build osx libpcap stuff (simh) in the past, I'd just download the latest pcap myself, and manually link that into the exe so it didn't use the system libpcap.....

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.
