[Bug] tcpreplay on Debian 12 does not seem to work on tap interfaces about tcpreplay HOT 6 CLOSED

False alarm... I was using the default tcpreplay binary from Debian instead of the local one :-)
The new version solves the problem, thanks!

Notes:

• The tcpreplay replay + wireshark recording is working if I use the lo (loopback) interface, so this is a tap-specific problem.
• I have the same problem with the latest tcpreplay version (4.4.4) compiled from sources (the ./configure phase shows: "Tuntap device support: yes").
• After reading #411 I tried to use another name for the tap interface (not starting with "tap"), but same problem.

Thank you for your help.

I used git bisect and found the culprit:

Hi @fklassen. I've tested branch 4.5.0-beta1 and the problem seems to be still here.
