Ok, found the 'bug'.. maybe it helps someone ;)

It only happens on the interface connected to DSL modem

note the: > tcpdump: WARNING: rl0: no IPv4 address assigned

when accessing the interface rl0 and specify a port, it can't capture packets, 
but it can capture packets with no problems on tun0 (tun0 is the interface 
that actually has the ip)

still is weird how it can capture packages when no port is specified, but then 
maybe its the way its suposed to be :)
