DLT_LOOP defined wrong on OpenBSD

Hi

DLT_LOOP is defined improperly in pcap-bpf.c for OpenBSD.

Here is the current:

/*
 * OpenBSD DLT_LOOP, for loopback devices; it's like DLT_NULL, except
 * that the AF_ type in the link-layer header is in network byte order.
 *
 * OpenBSD defines it as 12, but that collides with DLT_RAW, so we
 * define it as 108 here.  If OpenBSD picks up this file, it should
 * define DLT_LOOP as 12 in its version, as per the comment above -
 * and should not use 108 as a DLT_ value.
 */
#define DLT_LOOP    108

It needs to be changed to:

#ifdef __OpenBSD__
#define DLT_LOOP    12
#else
#define DLT_LOOP    108
#endif

Here is the corresponding section from my net/bpf.h in OpenBSD 4.0

/*
 * Data-link level type codes.
 */
#define DLT_NULL        0   /* no link-layer encapsulation */
#define DLT_EN10MB      1   /* Ethernet (10Mb) */
#define DLT_EN3MB       2   /* Experimental Ethernet (3Mb) */
#define DLT_AX25        3   /* Amateur Radio AX.25 */
#define DLT_PRONET      4   /* Proteon ProNET Token Ring */
#define DLT_CHAOS       5   /* Chaos */
#define DLT_IEEE802     6   /* IEEE 802 Networks */
#define DLT_ARCNET      7   /* ARCNET */
#define DLT_SLIP        8   /* Serial Line IP */
#define DLT_PPP         9   /* Point-to-point Protocol */
#define DLT_FDDI        10  /* FDDI */
#define DLT_ATM_RFC1483     11  /* LLC/SNAP encapsulated atm */
#define DLT_LOOP        12  /* loopback type (af header) */
#define DLT_ENC         13  /* IPSEC enc type (af header, spi, flags) */
#define DLT_RAW         14  /* raw IP */
#define DLT_SLIP_BSDOS      15  /* BSD/OS Serial Line IP */
#define DLT_PPP_BSDOS       16  /* BSD/OS Point-to-point Protocol */
#define DLT_OLD_PFLOG       17  /* Packet filter logging, old (XXX
remove?) */
#define DLT_PFSYNC      18  /* Packet filter state syncing */
#define DLT_PPP_ETHER       51  /* PPP over Ethernet; session only w/o
ether header */
#define DLT_IEEE802_11      105 /* IEEE 802.11 wireless */
#define DLT_PFLOG       117 /* Packet filter logging, by pcap people */
#define DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO    127 /* IEEE 802.11 plus WLAN header */
