Hmm.  Well, maybe it needs some other device on Linux
then?  I'll hunt around and see what I can find.  When
I start it I get:

Eth: pcap_open_live error - socket: Operation not
permitted

On the BSDs I had to make sure /dev/bpf1 was
world-writeable.

I'll take another look through the docs to see if
there's something I missed.
