That's because the libraries and/or drivers the Windows one uses won't
let libpcap open the device; the underlying code is libpcap
0.4a6-vintage, and, as long as "pcap-win32.c" properly maps the
NdisMedium code for Token Ring to DLT_IEEE802, fixing the libraries
and/or drivers should make it work.

I couldn't find your patch in either the "patches@xxxxxxxxxxx" or
"tcpdump-workers@xxxxxxxxxxx" archive; could you send it either to me or
to "patches@xxxxxxxxxxx" again?
