I would like to know how to start tcpdump 3.6 listening on all
interfaces such that the name of the interface is printed on each line
of output.
In tcpdump 3.4, this is easy: just start up without specifying an
interface.  I expected that starting 3.6 with the 'any' interface
specified would do the same thing, but it doesn't.  I really need to be
able to listen to all interfaces, AND to know which interface each
packet belongs to.


A related (but less important) question: When tcpdump 3.4 listens on a
VLAN trunk on eth1, the interface names are reported as "if120", "if148"
and so on, the number varying according to which port on the switch the
source host is connected on.  Where do these names come from? (The
numbers relate neither to the vlan ID of the port, nor to the virtual
interface device name assigned by ifconfig.)
