We already have this patch applied. what name your vlan interface uses?

I'm thinking about applying the following patch: 
http://linux.mantech.ro/IPTraf-fix.html

as I agree with Arian Ban that depend on  if (strncmp(ifname, "vlan", 3) == 0) to detect that interface if vlan was not a good idea... What do you think?

Hello,

I use "set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD", so I have vlan2, vlan20, etc...

Thanks

T.

Tomas, could you try ebuild from my overlay and tell me if this fixes the problem for you. Just take it with the following command:

svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/pva/net-analyzer/iptraf

and emerge.

Just reporting that I applied the patch found at http://linux.mantech.ro/IPTraf-fix.html and it resolved the problem for me.

It looks like this is the patch you used in your overlay Peter so that should work too.

Thank you Ross for tests and Tomas for report. I've added patch into iptraf-3.0.0-r5. Fixed.
