Changing tcpdump and > libpcap for the sake of LPIP really seems like overdoing it to me... That was my initial reaction too, but then I saw that BSDI had had their PPP and SLIP implementations given special types: #define DLT_SLIP_BSDOS 13 /* BSD/OS Serial Line IP */ #define DLT_PPP_BSDOS 14 /* BSD/OS Point-to-point Protocol */ So I thought - if it makes sense for BSDI, it might make sense for FreeBSD too. I'll look into using DLT_NULL or DLT_RAW.
