New securityonion-pfring-module package now available

We recently released PF_RING 5.5.3 packages:
http://securityonion.blogspot.com/2013/05/pfring-553-packages-now-available.html

Shortly after releasing the packages, we determined that there was a bug in the kernel module.  The PF_RING team patched the kernel module and I've created a new securityonion-pfring-module package which is now available in our stable repo.

To ensure that the PF_RING kernel module is installed before any Ubuntu kernel updates, you may want to install as follows:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install securityonion-pfring-module ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

For more information, please see our Upgrade page:
https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/Upgrade

The securityonion-pfring-module package will do the following:

• stop all NSM sensor processes
• terminate any remaining processes using PF_RING
• remove the existing PF_RING module
• build the new PF_RING module and insert it
• start all NSM sensor processes
