I have an unprovisioned ethernet interface showing some TX packets:

# ifconfig -a eth1
eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
       inet6 fe80::224:e8ff:fe80:9258  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
       ether 00:24:e8:80:92:58  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
       RX packets 1334743  bytes 124150467 (118.3 MiB)
       RX errors 0  dropped 128753314  overruns 0  frame 0
       TX packets 81  bytes 6380 (6.2 KiB)
       TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
       device interrupt 48  memory 0xd8000000-d8012800

But those aren't showing up with:

# tcpdump -i eth1 -n -e -Q out

What happens with

        tcpdump -i eth1 -n -e -p

i.e., not filtering only for outgoing packets, but also not running in promiscuous mode?  (Just to make sure that the 
direction filtering is done correctly on Linux.)
