- The following instructions apply if you have a Linux platform and want
- libpcap to support the Septel range of passive network monitoring cards
- from Intel (http://www.intel.com)
- 1) Install and build the Septel software distribution by following the
- instructions supplied with that package.
- 2) Configure libcap. To allow the 'configure' script to locate the Septel
- software distribution use the '--with-septel' option:
- ./configure --with-septel=DIR
- where DIR is the root of the Septel software distribution, for example
- /var/src/septel.
- By default (if you write only ./configure --with-septel) it takes
- ./../septel as argument for DIR.
- If the Septel software is correctly detected 'configure' will
- report:
- checking whether we have Septel API... yes
- If 'configure' reports that there is no Septel API, the directory may have been
- incorrectly specified or the Septel software was not built before configuring
- libpcap.
- See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration
- options.
- Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native
- packet capture stream and for capturing from Septel cards. To build
- libpcap with only Septel support specify the capture type as 'septel'
- when configuring libpcap:
- ./configure --with-septel=DIR --with-pcap=septel
- Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect Septel
- cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream.
- Note: As mentioned in pcap-septel.c we should first edit the system.txt
- file to change the user part example (UPE) module id to 0xdd instead of
- 0x2d for technical reason. So this change in system.txt is crucial and
- things will go wrong if it's not done. System.txt along with config.txt
- are configuration files that are edited by the user before running the
- gctload program that uses these files for initialising modules and
- configuring parameters.
