Ethereal says it was compiled with libpcap 0.7.2

That version *should*, on Linux, find devices with no IP address, as per my mail. It's odd that it's not finding them....

but is running with version unknown.

That's because libpcap 0.7.2 didn't include "pcap_lib_version()", which returns the version number for the current version of the library.

So it should find lo, eth0, and eth1. Is eth1 the one it's not finding? If so, what does "strace tethereal -D" print?
