>Description:
tcpdump will not work on FDDI interfaces as it complains about
unknow data link type 0xa. After much trying to figure the code
in tcpdump.c I realised this was a missing bit in libpcap.
>How-To-Repeat:
try tcpdump -i fpa0
>Fix:
Add -DFDDI to CFLAGS in src/lib/libpcacp/Makefile and rebuild
