When iftop starts up, does it say "Cannot obtain MAC address on this platform"? (you should be able to see this message after you quit). If so, then the problem is that it can't get the hardware address, and because it's a bridge, the interfaces don't have an IP address, so it can't determine which way the packets are actually moving. Either we need to figure out how to get the hardware address on FreeBSD, or add an option to specify the hardware address. Paul

The particular version of the resolver code which iftop uses is decided by the configure script at compile time. I thought the configure script printed that out, but it looks like it doesn't, necessarily. So, the easiest way to find out is, in the build directory, to type, grep USE config.h you'll get output something like this: /* #undef USE_ARES */ /* #undef USE_FORKING_RESOLVER */ /* #undef USE_GETHOSTBYADDR */ #define USE_GETHOSTBYADDR_R 1 /* #undef USE_GETNAMEINFO */ -- the #define line in this case indicates that that build of iftop uses name-resolution code based on gethostbyaddr_r(3). -- Mr Newton is trying to collapse the star. Mr Pauli is trying to save it. Who wins? Mr Chandrasekhar is the referee. (physics lecture)
