Hello,
I am running a packet capture program that is using libpcap on Linux
2.4.19. The pcap_next function just hangs no matter what timeout I give. I
have read that there was some filtering problem and that it's fixed now,
but I was not able to understand it. Can someone please tell me what to do
or where the latest version of libpcap (with the bug removed) is
available?

Thanks,
Asra
