It's a so called pseudo-device, and in the 3.1STABLE kernels, it's
allready included in the GENERIC kernel-build-file.
You just have to remove the comment in front of it.
I think it's called "bpfilter" or "bpf".
I remember 2.2.something being _very_ picky about the name (I only hat
"bp" and wondered why nothing worked).

cheers,
Rainer
