I have another question as well as above. Is EtherExpress driver that
supports BPF available now?
If so, where? The driver included in the 2.1.6 does not support BPF and so
I cannot use tcpdump etc. 
which need BPF. FreeBSD team looks aware of the problem and is trying to
rewrite the driver's code.

Any status on this?
