I recently upgraded to 2.0.5 and used my 2.0 kernel config to compile a new
kernel.  I compiled in support for and ethernet card, one slip device, and
one ppp device.  I added support for 4 bpf devices.  However, when I boot,
these bpf devices do not get attached to the network devices.  The bpf[0-4]
devices exist in /dev, but I can't run tcpdump on any of the interfaces.

What do I need to do to insure that the bpf's get attached?
