Does it matter whether the pseudo-device line for the BPF precedes or suceeds the device line for the ethernet interface in the kernel config file? 2. I am unable to get the BPF to attach the interface to the Intel EtherExpress 16 (ix0). /var/log/messages shows attachs for lo0, sl0 and tun0, but seems to skip ix0. Consequently, tcpdump complains about ix0. Suggestions, please? Danke...
