[Ptpd-announce] 802.3 (Ethernet) mode for clients and PCAP support added to the trunk...

[George Neville-N. <gn...@ne...>]

Howdy,

As of revision 324 of the trunk of the PTPd tree I have added support for reading packets
over pcap/bpf (this works on BSD based systems and is being testing on FreeBSD) which
also allows us to work in 802.3 mode.  I have tested this mode with both a Symmetricom (S350)
and a Meinberg m600.  Testing will continue before the release but this is the first
cut of this code.  Please update your trees and test in your own evnironments and report
bugs.  If someone could look at replicating the pcap/bpf work on top of whatever similar
feature Linux provides that would be most welcome.

Best,
George
