Re: [opensuse] why does "tcpdump -i any" not work on opensuse?

Hi all,

Does anyone know why 'tcpdump -i any' ends up in something like this:

tcpdump: SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device

The command works fine in fedora with the same version of libpcap and
tcpdump.

On opensuse 11.1:

~/ # tcpdump -i any
tcpdump: WARNING: Promiscuous mode not supported on the "any" device
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes

and the capture follows. Do you use wireless interfaces? What's the output of
ip link list?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
