thanks.  I will check.  the STOCK pcaplib doens't do it, so we pull in 
libpcap 1.1.1.
and I checked to make sure it does have the call.
man pcap_set_buffer_size.

NAME
       pcap_set_buffer_size - set the buffer size for a 
not-yet-activated cap-
       ture handle


tried bytes, didn't help, but
I did notice a bug in the configure options I called, let me try that.

Thanks.

you wrote the daq module?  thanks for your work.
