I get the same error dialog with -r. Also the manpage does seem to
indicate that I can specify a named pipe with -i:
-i Set the name of the network interface or pipe to use for live
packet capture. Network interface names should match one of the
names listed in "netstat -i" or "ifconfig -a". Pipe names should
be either the name of a FIFO (named pipe) or ``-'' to read data
from the standard input. Data read from pipes must be in libpcap
format.
Any other ideas?
