Hi Guys

can anyone tell me if the standard FreeBSD 2.0 and NetBSD 1.0 kernels
have the needed drivers for tcpdump compiled into them. I've made the 
devices (/dev/bpf*) and called the prog. - only to receive the error
message "device not configured".

The progs are part of the binary releases, so I expected the kernel 
to support them. Do I have to compile two new kernels?

Help much appreciated, Les
