Sometime in the last month or so (when I wasn't looking) my |
| 2 |
~x86 and ~amd64 machines quit working when I try to run |
| 3 |
wireshark or tcpdump, etc, but I don't know exactly when |
| 4 |
or why. (My amd64 machine still sniffs packets normally.) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I get this same error from any packet sniffing app: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Can't open netlink socket 93:Protocol not supported |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Strace shows that this is the failing system call: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 12) = -1 EPROTONOSUPPORT (Protocol not supported) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
That makes me think of some missing kernel config that may |
| 15 |
have been added or modified in recent kernels, so I tried |
| 16 |
gentoo-sources-3.0.6 (same as my working amd64 machine) with |
| 17 |
no joy. Same error message. |

Have I missed some important gentoo bulletin about networking |
| 20 |
recently? Anyone have working packet sniffing on ~arch? |
