Hi. I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 and in the GENERIC
configuration file of the kernel in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf there is the following line:

device bpf # Berkeley packet filter

Though, in the FreeBSD handbook it says:

pseudo-device bpf # Berkeley packet filter

I have used "device bpf" but there is no /dev/bpf* at
all...

Am i missing something here? How should i define this?
pseudo-device or device?
