Turn off hardware checksums with 'ifconfig > xl0 -txcsum' When I do 'ifconfig xl0 -txcsum', a subsequent 'ifconfig' reads as if the command had no effect. In other words, ifconfig shows options=3<rxcsum,txcsum> still. Using tcpdump, it also still reports 'bad checksum' even though everything works fine. The man page for xl also doesn't show these commands. Perhaps they are not turned on yet? On a similar machine, running OpenBSD 3.0, dsniff works just fine. This machine doesn't have support for checksum offload (or at least, ifconfig xl0 doesn't indicate it.)
