Thanks. I could have sworn that PF_RING support was integrated into the mainline libpcap sources sometime in the last couple 2-3 years. But it appears now that it's still necessary to use a patched version of libpcap, and that the patch is not maintained by the core libpcap developers. Is that correct?
