You're not using libpcap 0.9.3, you're using libpcap 0.7.2, unless it was
dynamically linked with libpcap...

...and it's not.

Libpcap 0.7.2 doesn't support capturing on SunATM devices; I think that
was first available in 0.8.1.

You'll have to get a version of Ethereal that's either statically linked
with a newer version of libpcap, or a version of Ethereal dynamically
linked with libpcap and a dynamic-library version of 0.8.1 or later, or
you'll have to build Ethereal from source.

You might try The Written Word (www.thewrittenword.com) for binary
packages, or try one of the binary packages from the Ethereal Web site:

(Gerald, are those statically linked with libpcap?  If so, with what
version are they linked?)
