When trying to use pfsend to test throughput on 10Gb/s captures I get this
error on pfsend:

*pfsend -f file.pcap -i ZC:eth5 -r 8*
*Sending packets on ZC:eth5*
*pfring_open error [No such device] (pf_ring not loaded or interface
ZC:eth5 is down ?)*

The interface is loaded and up as well as the info for the connection shows
as follows:

*cat /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/eth5/info*
*Name: eth5*
*Index: 13*
*Address: A0:36:9F:DB:79:BA*
*Polling Mode: NAPI/ZC*
*Type: Ethernet*
*Family: Intel ixgbe 82599*
*TX Queues: 1*
*RX Queues: 1*
*Num RX Slots: 32768*
*Num TX Slots: 32768*

Also have PF_RING loaded:

*cat /proc/net/pf_ring/info*
*PF_RING Version : 6.7.0
(dev:1034289a8adac9b21799a1dea91e1604c9296ed1)*
*Total rings : 0*

*Standard (non ZC) Options*
*Ring slots : 4096*
*Slot version : 16*
*Capture TX : Yes [RX+TX]*
*IP Defragment : No*
*Socket Mode : Standard*
*Cluster Fragment Queue : 0*
*Cluster Fragment Discard : 0*

Can you help clarify the missing link here? I've installed these packages
from the ntop.org packages list.

*e1000e-zc-3.2.7.1.1201-dkms.noarch.rpm*
*i40e-zc-1.5.18.1201-1dkms.noarch.rpm*
*igb-zc-5.3.3.5.1201-dkms.noarch.rpm*
*ixgbe-zc-4.1.5.1201-dkms.noarch.rpm*
*pfring-6.7.0-1201.x86_64.rpm*
*pfring-dkms-6.7.0-1201.noarch.rpm*
*pfring-drivers-zc-dkms-1.2-0.noarch.rpm*

Other tools like pfcount works correctly. Thanks.
