But what? From the driver source (/sys/i386/isa/if_ix.c): /*ZZZ no work done on this, this is just here to remind me*/ #include "bpfilter.h" #if NBPFILTER > 0 #include <net/bpf.h> #include <net/bpfdesc.h> #endif /* NBPFILTER > 0 */ So obviously bpf is not supported by that particular driver. -- Patrick M.
