I am dealing with this problem. I am using tcpdump to collect tcp
network traces and I have noticed that the time stamping resolution is
10 milli-seconds. However I need higher resolution granularity (order of 
micro-seconds). How can I improve resolution? Can anyone suggest any pointer 
to solve this problem? Any information is appreciated. Here's my
system configuration:

tcpdump: version 3.6
libcap: version 0.6
RedHat: version 7.2
Linux Kernel: version 2.4.7-10
Processor: Pentium 4, 1700MHz

Probably either a Linux kernel configuration issue or a Red Hat bug:
