4 * pcap-linux.c: add support for sniffing on all devices using the
6 * inet.c (pcap_lookupnet): support the "any" device using the
8 * these changes are heavily based on the patch sent to me by
11 Fri Jun 7 23:00:05 GMT 2000 gharris@flashcom.net
12 * repair BIOSBLEN loop
14 Sun Jun 11 16:46:22 GMT 2000 mcr@sandelman.ottawa.on.ca
15 * add README.aix file describing AIX-specific issues
17 Sat Jun 10 14:20:24 GMT 2000 cgd@netbsd.org
18 * fixes to cross-compiling
20 Thu Jun 8 08:37:09 CEST 2000 torsten@debian.org
21 * merged the Linux v2.2 packet support into the main trunk
23 Sat Jun 3 16:29:42 GMT 2000 itojun@iijlab.net
24 * -Wall -Werror clean.
26 Thu May 4 13:34:24 GMT 2000 itojun@iijlab.net
27 * do not use strlcpy() if the platform does not supply one.
28 linkage of third-party source code can fail if the third-party
29 code does not have AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strlcpy). (exapmle:
32 Thu Apr 27 18:49:57 JST 2000 itojun@iijlab.net
33 * avoid use of sprintf() and other unbounded string operations.
34 NOTE: *errbuf arg is assumed to be larger than PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE.
36 Sun Apr 9 17:44:26 GMT 2000 assar@sics.se
37 * check for u_int32_t (used in gencode)

40 * (AC_C___ATTRIBUTE__): call
42 Fri Mar 31 16:59:43 GMT 2000 assar@sics.se
43 * link bpf_filter.c to make it work with all makes. problem
44 reported by Rick Jones <raj@cup.hp.com>
45 * update config.guess and config.sub to latest versions from FSF
48 Wed Feb 23 20:32:32 JST 2000 itojun@iijlab.net
49 * use getifaddrs(3) whenever possible. this avoids use of SIOCGIFCONF.
50 SIOCGIFCONF is hard-to-use API since (1) it does not tell us amount
51 of buffer beforehand, (2) it is not friendly with alignment issues
52 due to use of packed struct.

57 v0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000
60 - Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.

64 with the same numeric value.
66 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
67 - Building outside the source code tree fixed.
68 - Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
69 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
70 the OS's native "struct timeval".
71 - Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
72 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
75 Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
76 - Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
77 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or

90 options to disable gcc and to force a particular packet capture type.
92 - Added support for Fore ATM interfaces (qaa and fa) under IRIX. Thanks
93 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
95 - Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
96 supply any "link layer" data.
98 - Change Linux to use SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl to determine link layer type.
99 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
101 - Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any

146 - Fixed bug in pcap_dispatch() that kept it from returning on packet
149 - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check

151 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
153 - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
154 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

293 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
295 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
297 - Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
