Yes, eth1 is the one that is missing. Here is the output from tethereal:

It appears that no attempt was made to open /proc/net/dev - perhaps the libpcap in RH 8 was configured not to check it (the autoconf script should have checked for a readable "/proc/net/dev", configuring libpcap to use it if found, but perhaps it wasn't found when RH 8 was built, or perhaps the build process for RH 8 doesn't run the configure script but uses a pre-generated config.h file that doesn't define HAVE_PROC_NET_DEV; in either case, I'd consider that a bug in RH 8).
