Summary: how to get tcpdump to work?

I'm trying to get tcpdump to work and am having some trouble. I
recompiled the kernel with

pseudo-device bpfilter 6

I am using an Intel ExtherExpress card (which works fine with BSD/OS 2.1 and
tcpdump, by the way), which is configured as follows:

device ix0 at isa? port 0x260 net irq 10 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 32768 vector 
ixintr
 
Since ifconfig -a tells me ix0 is up and appropriately configured, it looks
like the interface is ok.

However, doing a tcpdump -i ix0 yields:
tcpdump: ix0: Device not configured
 
Any ideas?
