I am trying to use Snort from Blastwave. I first got the following error:

ERROR: Failed to lookup for interface: no suitable device found. Please specify one with -i switch

-bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0:23: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
         inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0:23: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
         inet 192.168.19.175 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 192.168.19.255

When I try
-bash-3.00# /opt/csw/bin/snort -c /opt/sfw/etc/snort.conf -l /export/home/dcomsm/snort/logs/ -i e1000g0

I get the following error:
Initializing Network Interface e1000g0
ERROR: OpenPcap() device e1000g0 open:
         e1000g0: No DLPI device found
Fatal Error, Quitting..

Solaris 10 x86.

Any help to sort this would be great.

Thanks
Manish
