I am running a gateway using FreeBSD 2.1 on a system with a pair of
Intel LANExpress cards, interfaces ix0 and ix1, works great. 

When I try
  tcpdump -i ix0
I get
  tcpdump: ix0: Device not configured

"pseudo-device bpfilter 4" is uncommented in the kernel config file.
I can open /dev/bpf0, e.g. from a shell prompt.
What is wrong here?
