Hi, first, sorry about my English.
We need to use packetbeat on Solaris 11 servers.
Using go 1.5 builds OK:
**ldd ./packetbeat-1.0.0-rc1**
> libsocket.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libsocket.so.1
> libnsl.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libnsl.so.1
> libsendfile.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libsendfile.so.1
> libpcap.so.1 =\> /usr/lib/64/libpcap.so.1
> libc.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libc.so.1
> libmp.so.2 =\> /lib/64/libmp.so.2
> libmd.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libmd.so.1
> libsoftcrypto.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libsoftcrypto.so.1
> libelf.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libelf.so.1
> libcryptoutil.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libcryptoutil.so.1
> libz.so.1 =\> /lib/64/libz.so.1
> libm.so.2 =\> /lib/64/libm.so.2
But then, trying to capture traffic (with simultaneous curl requests to some HTTP servers):
**./packetbeat-1.0.0-rc1 -c ./etc/packetbeat.yml -e -v -d "\*"**

No single packet captured.
Same behavior with version 1.0.0
Same test on Linux works perfectly well.
Any idea? Some kind of bug or limitation in "gopacket" with non-Linux kernels?
Thanks in advance.
