After an unreasonably long delay, I've finally got round to releasing 
iftop-1.0pre2.

Hopefully this fixes compilation issues on various platforms, including 
FreeBSD and Mac OS X.

It's also got:

* reverse IPv6 using all methods except ares
* faster switching of graph scale
* fixed support for DLT_NULL
* fix for segfault on interfaces with no MAC address
* improved interface autodetect
* a stab at implementing support for radiotap interfaces (DLT 127).

Specific items I'm looking for feedback on:

* Does it compile?  If you could drop me an off-list email with 
platforms that you've tested on, that would be useful.
* Does anyone still use the ares resolver implementation?
* Does the interface autodetection work any better or worse than 1.0pre1 
or earlier? (i.e. do you get the interface you expected when run with no 
options)

I hope I've dealt with all the patches I've received since 1.0pre1.  If 
you've sent me a patch and I've not acknowledged it, please let me know.

Barring any serious issues, I hope to push this to 1.0 soon.  It's 
getting close to iftop's 10th anniversary, so it's probably about time :-)
