Thanks Guy!
So the options I have are:
1) to capture with tshark and specify a display filter, but I am afraid that it won't keep up. The number of packets I want to capture are very few, so I really want to make sure I don't miss any of those packets.
2) to use tcpdump and specify a post-rotate command with -z to postprocess the rotated file with for example tshark. http://www.tcpdump.org/tcpdump_man.html
Is this post-rotate command something for tshark?
Thanks again,
Martin

Unfortunately, no - in-kernel BPF doesn't support backward branches, so a BPF program that can do filtering in the kernel can't calculate a checksum, and, even though it might be possible to have a BPF program to calculate checksums in userland, the capture-filter-to-BPF compiler in libpcap doesn't have a way of expressing that.
