      Initializing Network Interface ng0
      ERROR: OpenPcap() device ng0 open:
              BIOCSETIF: ng0: Device not configured
      Fatal Error, Quitting..

      Im currently running snort 1.3/2.0 alpha, however i had this problem on 1.2 RC2…

      ng0 does not exist as an interface, in 'ifconfig -a'

      How can i fix this?  If i manually start snort and point it to pppoe0 all works, until i edit something via the GUI..then it goes back to ng0 :)

      Cheers,
