Well I have the 

pseudo-device    bpf	#Berkeley packet filter

in my KERNEL config file.  But when I try to access /dev/bpf0 and
ed0 with tcpdump or whatever, I get the "Device not configured"
error.  I am root when I do this.

The permissions for bpf0 are:

crw-------  1 root  wheel   23,   0 Aug 18  2000 /dev/bpf0

I tried adding permissions to this file, but I still got the same
error, so I returned it to its original permission set.

I've read the bpf manpage, but it doesn't seem to say what my
problem is.  I'm using 4.0-RELEASE with a custom kernel.  (It's
been working great, so I haven't upgraded.)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
