Yep and you'll be the third person to do this work!  There is a very complete
set of patches and a new version of tcpdump on ref.tfs.com.  Look in ~davidg
for it.  If you can't find it there email to davidg@implode.rain.com and ask
him for it, or you can reply to me and ask me for it.

This work is based upon the lattest version of bpf available from lbl.gov
and supercedes the version supplied with the distribution in etcdist.

It includes a new if_we driver that has all sorts of clean up done.
