That works, but there's a better solution. Add the following line to
/etc/conf.modules:
alias net-pf-17 af_packet
That tells kmod (or kerneld) to automatically load the af_packet module
whenever a program tries to open a socket with this protocol family. This
gets the af_packet module to load automatically without requiring changes
to startup scripts.
I try to avoid manually installing modules whenever possible -- your
solution requires to to modify the startup script for *any* program that
wants to access the Linux packet filter.
I solved this problem by going to DejaNews and doing a search for:
af_packet module
