FYI, I've opened another ticket with apple (Bug ID# 5152213) regarding
pcap_findalldevs().  Short story is that calling pcap_findalldevs()
causes the builtin wifi on my MacBook Pro (10.4.9) to disassociate
from the AP.  Very annoying, especially since you needn't be root to
have it happen.

Known problem. If the application using pcap_findalldevs() is built with libpcap from the top of the libpcap_0_9 branch, the problem goes away.
