Hi Victor...

You probably need to make the bpf* devices.  For example, if you have:

  pseudo-device   bpf     4       # Berkeley packet filter

in your kernel, you will need to perform:

  cd /dev
  sh MAKEDEV bpf0 bpf1 bpf2 bpf3

I think that should do it.

Subject: dhclient fails after upgrade


Hello everyone,

I just updated my 4.0-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE today, and now cannot use dhcp
to configure my NIC. When I try to run dhclient manually, it said "dhclient:
no bpf devices". I did not include support for the bpf device at first.
However, i recompiled my kernel with support for it, and I still get the
same message. Am I missing a step?

Please email me at vcardon@siue.edu. Thanks

Victor
