Using Ostinato with a USB Network Card

[Lior]

Hi,

I'd like to start using Ostinato with an external USB network card.
The USB network card is configured correctly on Windows XP.
The internal network card is showing up properly on the default port group (127.0.0.1:7878).
I'm unable to create a port group which has this interface.
How can I use the USB network card as the packet generating interface?

Regards,
Lior

Lior,

Can you see the USB network interface in Wireshark?

If yes, can you send me a screenshot of the _expanded_ default port
group (127.0.0.1:7878)?

If not, its probably something to do with WinPcap - you'll need to ask
on the winpcap mailing list - winpca...@winpcap.org. Before you do
that it might be worth a try to reboot once without detaching the USB
network interface.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Srivats

Srivats,

Restarting the computer seems to have solved the issue.
The USB network card now appears properly in Ostinato.
Thanks for the help.

Explanation of the behaviour - The winpcap driver scans all the
interfaces at startup. When you later on attach a USB network card,
winpcap doesn't know about it. When you reboot, the driver scans and
finds the USB interface also.
