Modern kernels prevent the loading of unsigned third party modules (like PF_RING) if UEFI Secure Boot is enabled. An example of this can be found here:

If you have problems with Snort/Suricata/Bro/PF_RING and have UEFI Secure Boot enabled, you can disable Secure Boot:

In the future, we will transition from PF_RING to AF_PACKET and this will no longer be an issue.
