ntop with Imagestream WANic

[Adam Henry <hank@marinar.com>]

Greetings,

Has anyone had any luck using nTop to watch traffic over ImageStream
WAN Interface Cards?  According to nTop, "on some Linux distributions,
the libpcap package is broken" [http://www.ntop.org/faq.txt].  Is this
the case with Debian 3.0?

When listening to HDCL Serial port, I get this error:

	Warning: arptype 15 not supported by libpcap - falling back to
	cooked socket

My goal is to use a program which will export the traffic of a Linux
based router's Serial (HDCL, FR) interface, so that I can use Ntop to
analyze the packets.  I was told by the people at ISis that "tcpdump
doesn't export traffic", and that I would need to use nProbe to send
nTop netFlow formatted packets to make any sense out of it.  Is this a
true statement?

Would anyone care to share their solutions?

Sincerely,
hank
