I took a look at the code (a fairly quick look -- I'm not running 5.x myself) and couldn't find anything that jumped out at me as an explicit limit. Perhaps it's part of a devfs configuration? > In FreeBSD 4.x you used to specify the number of BPF devices in the kernel > configuration pseudo-device line. That doesn't appear to be the case now. I don't think that's currently true in 4.x either. > I tried creating more BPF devices in /dev - I now have 80 /dev/bpf* entries, > but that didn't help. So you were adjusting devfs already? You may need to try a more recent release, and ask -CURRENT about it if that doesn't help.
