May be a stupid question but is the interface up? I've setup several Redhat 7.x Snort boxes with IPless NICs and they have always worked fine, as long as I bring up the NIC before starting Snort. Not sure if this applies much to BSD, but I leave the NIC for Snort unconfigured and it does not automatically start, first step in launching snort is to do an ifconfig ethx up.

I am pretty new to snort, so forgive my ignorance. I have FreeBSD 4.5 and Snort 1.8.1. I am trying to set Snort up to monitor an interface with no
IP
address. But I cant seem to get it to log anything to the /var/log/snort directory. When I start Snort everything appears to be fine. I use the -v flag to see if it is "seeing" anything, and I can see lots of packets on
the
monitor. But none are getting logged.
I had the same problem using Red Hat 7.*. I don't know about BSD. If I configured the interface with no ip address, snort saw nothing. If I gave it an address of 0.0.0.0 and specified what interface snort should listen on -- it would work.
