That one should be required reading for anyone working with Linux on z.
It tells you how to operate all your devices!  I think the title with
the words "device drivers" in it probably scares everyone away.  

I'll add a reference to it in my SHARE presentation :)   Might be a good
whole session though to consider though if the right speaker can be
found!

I did a quick browse of that manual. What an eye opener. Wish they had
bothered to mention these things at some of the many Linux Share
sessions I attended in San Diego recently.

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:
