Description edi 2003-09-04 07:37:56 UTC
the problem is simple, the function get_pcap_datalink do a switch () statement
to select the correct dlt for the interface, but not all the supported interfaces
are listed in 'case's.
we (me and my deadbeef@nectarine.info) have added those flags, and we have
fixed a "deprecated issue" problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge iplog
2. run iplog -i ppp0 (or tun0, of FDDI interfaces, if you have one :) )
3. the program doesn't recognise the datalink type

Actual Results:  
the program doesn't recognise the datalink type

Expected Results:  
attach to the iface, and log!

Comment 2 edi 2003-09-05 00:19:32 UTC
i changed the severity to major on sugges of my friend, because of this
bug most people cannot use iplog with some kind of domestical connection

p.s. the author seems to not touch the iplog's ode from months, so i don't
know if he will incorporate the patch, or if he's alive.

2.2.3-r1 is now in portage with this patch ... i'm assuming you already e-mailed
this patch to the upstream author ?

I mailed the author but i got no response from him.
I think he stopped to develop that.
