1 - you need to be root when you run tcpdump.
If that fails:
2 - you need to have a device /dev/bpf0. If you don't, make one
with /dev/MAKEDEV
If that still fails:
3 - you need to have bpf support compiled in to your kernel.
Recompile the kernel with:
pseudo-device bpfilter 1
in the psuedo devices list.
Note that these are listed from easiest to most time consuming. It's
quite likely that the culprit is both 2 & 3.
