I’m trying to run ethereal on my MAC running OSX 10.3 and it looks like this device does not exist. I found the following on one of your FAQ’s:

On BSD, note that you need to have BPF support enabled in your kernel; see the documentation for your system for information on how to enable BPF support (if it's not enabled by default on your system).

Do you have any notes on how I can enable this support on OSX 10.3?
