[Winpcap-bugs] Bug in pcap-new.c compatibility with linux.

[Noam Dev]

Hi,

I am using rpcapd through a linux installation. I applied
remote-code.patchand copied the extra files, but there was still a
problem. This is it :

in pcap_open, you recently (my previous codebase was 3.1 ) added the ability
to set windows-specific options when opening a device from far away.
This is the code :

case PCAP_SRC_IFLOCAL:

#ifdef WIN32
//
// these flags are supported on Windows only
//
            fp = pcap_open_live(name, snaplen, (flags &
PCAP_OPENFLAG_PROMISCUOUS), read_timeout, errbuf);
... (windows specific code follows)

The first line (the pcap_open_live call) needs to be called regardless of
the OS. The code should look like this :

case PCAP_SRC_IFLOCAL:
            fp = pcap_open_live(name, snaplen, (flags &
PCAP_OPENFLAG_PROMISCUOUS), read_timeout, errbuf);
#ifdef WIN32
//
// these flags are supported on Windows only
//
.... (windows specific code follows)

I don't know how to create a .patch file that does this change, but it
shouldnt take more than 10 seconds for anyone who does.

Please consider adding this to the main branch, i see this as a clean bug
fix...

Thanks!
