>Description:
NetBSD libpcap has extension to support arcnet. this is
defined in scanner.l as "AID", and the regex for this is ":{B}"
(colon, and then hexadecimals).
Unfortunately, libpcap uses ":" to special purpose, for byte
range in protocol header. AID definition conflict with it, and
raises incompatible behavior with other libpcap.
>How-To-Repeat:
# tcpdump -n 'ip[2:2] > 576'
it will raise syntax error on NetBSD, not on other systems. This
example is present on tcpdump(8).
>Fix:
- change syntax for arcnet address.
- disable arcnet support.
- what others?
