1The following instructions apply if you have a Linux platform and want 2libpcap to support the Septel range of passive network monitoring cards 3from Intel (http://www.intel.com) 4 51) Install and build the Septel software distribution by following the 6instructions supplied with that package. 7 82) Configure libcap. To allow the 'configure' script to locate the Septel 9software distribution use the '--with-septel' option: 10 11 ./configure --with-septel=DIR 12 13where DIR is the root of the Septel software distribution, for example 14/var/src/septel. 15 16By default (if you write only ./configure --with-septel) it takes 17./../septel as argument for DIR. 18 19If the Septel software is correctly detected 'configure' will 20report: 21 22 checking whether we have Septel API... yes 23 24If 'configure' reports that there is no Septel API, the directory may have been 25incorrectly specified or the Septel software was not built before configuring 26libpcap. 27 28See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration 29options. 30 31Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native 32packet capture stream and for capturing from Septel cards. To build 33libpcap with only Septel support specify the capture type as 'septel' 34when configuring libpcap: 35 36 ./configure --with-septel=DIR --with-pcap=septel 37 38Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect Septel 39cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream. 40 41Note: As mentioned in pcap-septel.c we should first edit the system.txt 42file to change the user part example (UPE) module id to 0xdd instead of 430x2d for technical reason. So this change in system.txt is crucial and 44things will go wrong if it's not done. System.txt along with config.txt 45are configuration files that are edited by the user before running the 46gctload program that uses these files for initialising modules and 47configuring parameters. 48 49---------------------------------------------------------------------- 50for more information please contact me : gil_hoyek@hotmail.com 51
