Ah, too bad not everyone is using  my software setup :-)
I'm wondering though whether it I simply should expand the call to
pcap_compiie_nopcap to its basic calls, thus a) removing another
configure check and making this feature work on more platforms?
Actually, what I just thought about: Maybe I can just copy the
code from libpcap into tethereal (~10 lines), but maybe not:
It looks to me that libpcap still has the original BSD-License
including the advertising clause in it, which makes it incompatible
with the Ethereal license :-/

Something like that was bound to happen :-)

Thanks for the fixes!

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
