 HP-UX, which you should read if you're going to install and use

+You may need to reference the card's DLPI device directly.  We were having
+trouble getting Ethereal to capture on an HP-UX 10.20 machine here.  I
+found an article on Deja News that says:
+
+"To access a particular interface, you would say "tcpdump -i /dev/dlpiN"
+where N is the PPA of the interface you wish to use. You get the PPA by
+looking at the output of lanscan. On 10.20, it is the same value as the
+NMID. On 11.X, it is the Card Instance number."
+
+This didn't help in our case, but it might in yours.  The full article is
+at http://x34.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=549366486 .
+
+Another article by the same author mentions that experimental versions of
+libpcap and tcpdump are available at
+ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/ .  The article itself is at
