     Just tried to build ethereal on SGI IRIX.  configure failed because
there is no net/bpf.h.  I'd like to use ethereal backed up to tcpdump
writing to stdout (tcpdump -w -), since I see that ethereal can parse
tcpdump.

     Is there a way to build ethereal without bpf support?  If not it'd be
useful.

     (Oh, please Cc me on any replies.  I'm not on the list.)

Thanks,

Randall
