Hi, 
	I can't seem to get tcpdump to work on my home system. I resently
got a second machine (so my 3 1/2 year old wouldn't monopolize the computer!)
and hooked the 2 machines up via a cross over cable. 

	Both machines have SMC 8432T cards, which is the de driver. The
second computer has Win98. The primary computer uses Win95 and FreeBSD. 

	Ok, I have pseudo-device	bpfilter	4  in the config.
(I did a !!grep bpfilter LINT in vi). Rebuilt and rebooted. 

	tcpdump gives me errors that it can't find /dev/bpf[0-4] as I 
add them one at a time. After adding bpf4 (which I know shouldn't exist),
I get bpf4: device not configured.

	It's running 2.2.6-RELEASE, and the only network I have is lo0, de0
and tun0. I'm running ppp -alias and am trying to get the Win98 machine to
go through, but it's not happening, hence tcpdump. 


	I did test ppp -alias with my laptop, when I was running 2.2.5-Release.
I also remember tcpdump working on 2.2.5. I also have tcpdump working fine on
machine's here at work (with fxp and vx devices).

Any ideas?

Paul.
