Comments on this:
1. Does it matter whether the pseudo-device line for the BPF
precedes or suceeds the device line for the ethernet interface in
the kernel config file?
2. I am unable to get the BPF to attach the interface to the Intel
EtherExpress 16 (ix0). /var/log/messages shows attachs for lo0, sl0
and tun0, but seems to skip ix0. Consequently, tcpdump complains
about ix0.
Suggestions, please? Danke...
Manu

Firstly, why? There's a perfectly functional tcpdump in 2.0...

pseudo-device bpfiter 4 in your kernel config.
