pretty sure i got all the right packages although i couldn’t find an openssl-devel package. Do have libssl-dev installed though. Pulsing seems to work fine. Ran the setcap command on whatpulse binary as well. It just doesn’t list any interfaces
Got libpcap0.8 installed, maybe i need a diff version?
[hr]
cdamour@damour:/bin$ getcap ./whatpulse
./whatpulse = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip
anyone got it working in quantal?
You got root permissions to listen/list interface when starting WhatPulse? Can you run an ifconfig and get decent output as that same user you are trying to run WhatPulse with?
I installed these packages for networking: libpcap0.8 libpcap0.8-dev
And ran sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip ./whatpulse
Not sure what this means, sorry. Is there something i can run to find out?
yeah, ifconfig is outputting eth1 my only connection
yup did that
Did you solve the problem? I’m running into to same issues here…
nope, still not working for me. open to suggestions
Do the network stats work if you run WP as root?
I’m having the same issue as well on a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 installation.
Running WP as root didn’t make any difference at all.
Running it manually via the terminal doesn’t return any errors that could lead to the network stats issue.
I’m not sure why it isn’t seeing your interface, but I’m running 12.10 as well and it’s working, so there is hope.
Maybe it’s a problem with libpcap? I think I would try removing it and purging it’s config files, then re-installing:
sudo apt-get remove libpcap0.8 --purge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8
Could you check whether these files exists?
/sys/class/net/eth0/device/vendor
/sys/class/net/eth0/device/device
hi,
I checked it with the notebook that had problems with the LAN but simultaneously not with the WLAN card and drumroll only the “vendor” file exists, not the “device”-file.
Earlier today I checked my work notebook where LAN works, on that one both files exist.
Hope that helps…
Wp is working on my version of Ubuntu 12.10, here’s what I have for their comparison:
eth0 - only the device file exists, no vendor, this is my wired adapter (not in use at the moment).
eth1 - both files exist, this is my wireless adapter for some reason, I don’t have a wlan0.
Please also post whether that interface is recognized, and if you don’t have a problem, there’s no need to check them at all. 
I doubt it is a problem with sysfs stuff. I don’t have either of those files on my colo’d gentoo server for its two main interfaces (bond0, and eth1.100); however it still works fine they just get listed as 'uknown device:
You guys actually just try running the thing as root to see if it works that way (not saying run it permanently like that).
You don’t have to doubt; it will skip a interface if those files doesn’t exist, under certain conditions. That skipping has been removed for the next version, so I want to confirm if that was the case for these users.
So then how is it working for me?
root@方向音痴: 11:31 AM :/sys/class/net/bond0# find -name “vend”
root@方向音痴: 11:31 AM :/sys/class/net/bond0# find -name “dev”
./dev_id
root@方向音痴: 11:31 AM :/sys/class/net/bond0# cd …/eth1.100
root@方向音痴: 11:31 AM :/sys/class/net/eth1.100# find -name “dev”
./dev_id
root@方向音痴: 11:32 AM :/sys/class/net/eth1.100# find -name “vend”
root@方向音痴: 11:32 AM :/sys/class/net/eth1.100#
As you can see I do not have those files and as you can see in the screenshot it list them as ‘unknown’ yet reporting is working fine for me on 2.0.1.

Had to add this to a second post as I was over the character limit…
Although it does seem to skip all the tun interfaces and stuff on my server and the interfaces that don’t have an IP address on them as well:

Hi, please see my post on the page before this… I think I could reproduce it: one of the files not there → problem, files there → fine…
I’m currently running v2.02 and i still got the issues:
user @ host ~/bin/WhatPulse $ getcap ./whatpulse
./whatpulse = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip
@roemer2011: I have exactly the same issue under ubuntu 12.10 with WP 2.0.1 and 2.0.3.
Files are there, running WP with sudo for test but no network interfaces there, pcap is installed and set up.
Anyone know how to fix this?
