Description Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2015-04-16 10:27:23 UTC 
Hi,

the above mentionend options (--with-testnic=/--with-testnic2=) makes it impossible to specify any interfaces at all:

# tcpreplay -i vnet0 fud.pcap

Fatal Error: Unable to parse args: Invalid interface name/alias: vnet0

It doesn't matter what interface you pass, it always fails and throws this error.
This affects 4.0.5 as well as 4.1.0, in 4.0.4 it works however, so a regression.

So right now tcpreplay is useless.

I don't see how those options affect the C source code. Did you make sure everything goes well when you remove them?

This seems related, though:

checking if it's ok to use pcap_findalldevs()... no

Should be fixed now.
