Making use of BPF, CAP can run on FreeBSD box in native EtherTalk
(Phase 1). It worked for me with FreeBSD 1.1, and presumably with 2.0
as well which I don't test actually. Unfortunately, CAP on BPF had a
performance problem. I know that some guys were working to solve this
problem. I hope their work is incorporated into the CAP official
patch.
