Hi Jeremy,

firstly - please don't send stuff as 'Charlie Root' - buggers up my
mail-box rules :')

Ok, let me try and nut this out. You've customised your kernel config
file (as attached) and you want to use DHCP to pick up your ip address
from your ISP?

I think, trying hard to recall, that you need to have included in the
kernel the Berkley Packet Filter stuff. So where you have the bpfilter
line commented out, I think you need it in.

Also, I think you need to have a number in the order of '4' (not one),
and you need to MAKEDEV the bpf* devices in the /dev directory.

Ok, I won't :')
