Data link type 0x75 corresponds to this (from <net/bpf.h> on a FreeBSD system):
/*
* Reserved for use in capture-file headers as a link-layer type
* corresponding to OpenBSD DLT_PFLOG; DLT_PFLOG is 17 in OpenBSD,

*/
#define DLT_PFLOG 117
I would guess that NetBSD has not completely imported this pflog functionality,
yet. You should be able to tcpdump against a normal interface, however.
