Description jswank 2001-05-26 01:30:01 UTC 
The current port for hping2 (security/hping) only supports a small
subset of possible ethernet drivers.  Running the resulting binary
returns an error when running with an unsupported NIC.

Sample session:

# /usr/local/sbin/hping 192.168.0.1
[main] physical layer header size unknown

Fix: Further patch getlhs.c in the source distribution to include support
for other ethernet devices.  Below is a unified diff for that file to
include support for additional NICs (I'm sending it to the maintainer
as well since it will probably be garbled via the PR web interface).
How-To-Repeat: Compile and attempt to run hping using an unsupported NIC.

From-To: open->closed

Mostly fixed by the maintainer's patch in PR ports/27874, which was 
just committed.
