Re: Snort on Linux with no IP

[Yonah Russ <yonah () mirimar net>]

eth1 is the name for the second network card in a BSD or Linux machine. 
Each network card is called eth for ethernet  and is number from 0 and 
up to however many network cards you have (minus 1).

It seems your machine either has only one network card or it may not 
have the proper driver modules loaded.

If you only have one network card, you could try using eth0 instead but 
you obviously won't be able to use regular network from that computer.

Hope this helps.
