Re: (there are no BPF devices)

Tnx for replying Dennis,

unfortunately that's the problem
# ls /dev/bpf*
/dev/bpf  /dev/bpf0

and
# ifconfig pflog0
pflog0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 33192

and for instance
# ps aux | grep pflogd
#
# /etc/rc.d/pflogd start
Starting pflogd.
# ps aux | grep pflogd
#
# tail -3 /var/log/messages
......
Oct 30 07:25:21 raspi1 pflogd[3139]: Failed to initialize: pflog0:
(there are no BPF devices)
Oct 30 07:25:21 raspi1 pflogd[3139]: Exiting, init failure


because both are complaining for it ... pflogd and tcpdump. And the
latter not only on the pflog0 interface:
# tcpdump -nettt -i usmsc0
tcpdump: (there are no BPF devices)

I've never seen such an error before.
