When trafshow is running:

tlp0: flags=8b43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500

and my networking works.

When trafshow (or tcpdump) is stopped:

tlp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

ifconfig says it is "UP", but I want it to work.

tcpdump says I have traffic out but nothing in.

I have not checked from another computer yet to see what tcpdump says 
about this traffic.

My workaround for now is to just keep tcpdump running ...
