libpcap 0.7.1 and later appear to work on AIX when using AIX's native
BPF; that appears to work better than DLPI does. Note that you may have
installing libpcap, in order to create the "/dev/bpf" devices and load
the BPF driver.
+However, libpcap 0.7.1 doesn't work perfectly with AIX's BPF - it
+appears that AIX's BPF devices inform their user that packets were
+dropped since the last successful read by returning -1 and setting
+"errno" to EFAULT, which libpcap 0.7.1 treats as an error. The current
+CVS version of libpcap ignores EFAULT on AIX; it appears that this fixes
+the problem.

Some earlier notes: the notes about libpcap may not apply, with libpcap
0.7.1, but they're preserved here for historical reasons.
