No, -doc is the right list for this type of questions/problem reports.

Yes, this was indeed an error in the tcpdump manual page.  It was
corrected in their products, and the fixed version was merged into
FreeBSD -CURRENT by Bill Fenner 5 months ago as part of an unrelated
update.  Apparently, the multi-DLT support (the main reason for the fix)
has not been merged into -STABLE yet.

I have CC'd this message to Bill Fenner; Bill, do you plan on MFC'ing
the DLT support, or should this particular typo be fixed independently
in -STABLE's tcpdump manual page?

G'luck,
Peter
