Forgive my ignorance, but I built tcpdump (3.4a3) and libcap (0.4a1) and
it built beautifully.  I read the docs, and that mentioned a few things to
watch out for.  However, when I run tcpdump (as root), it gives me:

tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: Device not configured

I did a little reading, and realize it's possible that my NIC may not
support it (it's a 3com 3c509 combo), but how would one tell.  Can anyone
enlighten me as to the true nature of this error?  Im running natd/ipfw,
would that interfere with the functioning of tcpdump?  Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
