The RPMs in the distributions work pretty well but if you need to use
the ethernet headers and will be collecting from the same node as your
source or destination machine (not really a great idea but sometimes
necessary), you'll want to get the latest libpcap and tcpdump from
http://www.tcpdump.org and build and install them. I don't know the
precise details but libpcaps prior to version 0.6 wasn't saving these
addresses correctly.
