I've checked in code that, on AIX, *might* fix those problems - or might cause "pcap-bpf.c" not to compile on AIX, or might not fix the problems. That will be in 0.7 as well; it's not as if the code was any better when it *did* compile, as it claimed that Ethernet devices were Token Ring devices and returned the wrong time stamp, so it's not as if it's a regression if it fails to compile (it may provoke people into reporting the problem or sending in a fix, and will push them into using DLPI as a workaround). I've updated the "README.aix" file to reflect that. The next CVS and 0.7 beta snapshots should have them. Please try it with both BPF *and* DLPI, so we can find out whether my recent changes to both of them work. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
