I got it working. Not sure if I understand the results yet.
Thanks for the pointer.

Bobby,
this is easy on SLES 10, but you are correct that is is not on RHEL 5 :-(

However you can use the qeth fake_ll=1 option to fake out the missing
LLC headers.
For example edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and add a line:
OPTIONS='fake_ll=1'

I restarted my system and tcpdump now works fine.

An alternative/check is to look at:
/sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/0.0.0700/fake_ll
A value of 0 is off and 1 is on, you cat list the values use cat and set
with echo.

For all about fake_ll and LLC headers read the IBM Device Drivers PDF:
