Issue 440: BPF JIT addition to /etc/sysctl.d/10-securityonion.conf

The new packages are as follows:

securityonion-setup - 20120912-0ubuntu0securityonion92

They have been tested by the following (thanks!):

Setup now selects interfaces based on /etc/network/interfaces
If you allow Setup to configure /etc/network/interfaces, then it will use that information later to automatically select the proper interface(s) for monitoring:

PF_RING min_num_slots
Setup now creates /etc/modprobe.d/pf_ring.conf to set parameters for the PF_RING kernel module.  If you run Quick Setup, it will just use the default value of 4096 for min_num_slots.  However, if you choose Advanced Setup, you will have the opportunity to change that default value.

If you've already run Setup and want to modify min_num_slots, you can manually create /etc/modprobe.d/pf_ring.conf.  For example, to increase min_num_slots to 65534, do the following:
echo "options pf_ring transparent_mode=0 min_num_slots=65534" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/pf_ring.conf
After creating /etc/modprobe.d/pf_ring.conf, you'll need to reload the PF_RING module as follows (or just reboot):
sudo nsm_sensor_ps-stop
sudo rmmod pf_ring
sudo nsm_sensor_ps-start
