You didn't supply enough information...  What version of the operating
system are you running?  Sun has changed the NIT interface in a big way
from version 3.5 to 4.0.x.  I suspect that you are attempting to run
the tcpdump executable from a 3.5 system on a 4.0.x system.  If that is
the case you should try to get a new version of tcpdump from someplace.
If you are building the executable yourself, are you aware of a diff
set to enable the sources to be compiled and usable on a Sun with
SunOS4.0.x?  There are a number of anonymous ftp sites with both
the executables and the diff set, but I do not have them offhand.  If
you are really desperate I can send you the diff set only...

Good Luck!
