   2 The following instructions apply if you have a Linux or FreeBSD platform and
   3 want libpcap to support the DAG range of passive network monitoring cards from
   4 Endace (http://www.endace.com, see below for further contact details).
   5
   6 1) Install and build the DAG software distribution by following the
   7 instructions supplied with that package. Current Endace customers can download
   8 the DAG software distibution from https://www.endace.com
   9
  10 2) Configure libcap. To allow the 'configure' script to locate the DAG
  11 software distribution use the '--with-dag' option:
  12
  13         ./configure --with-dag=DIR
  14
  15 Where DIR is the root of the DAG software distribution, for example
  16 /var/src/dag. If the DAG software is correctly detected 'configure' will
  17 report:
  18
  19         checking whether we have DAG API... yes
  20
  21 If 'configure' reports that there is no DAG API, the directory may have been
  22 incorrectly specified or the DAG software was not built before configuring
  23 libpcap.
  24
  25 See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration
  26 options.
  27
  28 Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native packet
  29 capture stream (linux or bpf) and for capturing from DAG cards. To build
  30 libpcap with only DAG support specify the capture type as 'dag' when
  31 configuring libpcap:
  32
  33         ./configure --with-dag=DIR --with-pcap=dag
  34
  35 Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect DAG
  36 cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream.
