Kevin,

I ran into this problem myself.  This is a problem with mopd in that it
assumes BPF is still broken in FreeBSD, even if you are running the "fixed"
version in 2.0 or later (I know its fixed in 2.1+ anyway...)

If you look for the ifdef's in the mopd code for the FreeBSD ones and take
out the one that reverses the type code (I think thats the bytes it munges)
in the ethernet packet and recompile, you should be working.

Sorry for being a bit vauge, but I dont have access to my mopd machine at
the moment to give you the exact incantation to fix the problem.

Hope this helps some.
