I've filed a bug against Linux kernel at

not arriving correctly. The usbmon tool from
http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/usbmon-5.4.tar.gz works correctly,
but it was implemented in a different way than libpcap.

Which version of libpcap are you using? I found a number of bugs in libpcap 1.0.0's USB capture code; they are fixed in the current main- branch Git version of libpcap.
