Description

Hi,

I'd like to use suricata to copy all the traffic from eth1 to eth2 and filter the unwanted traffic.
my config part:

af-packet:
  - interface: eth1
    # Number of receive threads (>1 will enable experimental flow pinned
    # runmode)
    threads: 1
    cluster-id: 99
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    defrag: yes
    use-mmap: yes
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: eth2

When I run suricata (suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata-debian.yaml --af-packet)
I receive this error:

29/5/2013 -- 12:39:17 - <Info> - Adding interface eth1 from config file

A new entry appears in kern.log:
Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev- instead.

versions:
suricata 1.4.1
kernel: 3.8

You'll need both interfaces in your af-packet section like described here: https://home.regit.org/2012/09/new-af_packet-ips-mode-in-suricata/
