[Andrew Ruthven]

Hey Duane,

First off, thank you for working on this so correctly!

I've managed to compile it, but I had to comment out the block checking
for ETHERTYPE_IPV6 in pcap.c.  That doesn't appear to be defined on my
Linux boxes.

So I can't define the IPv6 address using local_address for the name
server for defining direction then?

Also, it doesn't seem to be collecting IPv6 addresses quite right, I've
pulled this out of one of the XML files:
  302e:6fc4:ff7f:0:69df:4000::

It should be something like 2001:dce:4000:2::130 (that is the
nameserver).

I'll let you know what it is like once I have the XML data getting to
the box with the presenter running.  I think that'll be tomorrows task.

Cheers!
