I am running on OpenBSD 3.0 and pushing data to a MySQL server, both mysql and openbsd boxes have been upgraded.
You need more configured BPF devices. The GENERIC kernel only configures /dev/bpf0-7. Recompile your kernel with "pseudo-device bpfilter X" where X is more than 8 and make sure you also have enough /dev/bpf* files. Create more with cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV bpf10; ./MAKEDEV bpf11 ... if needed. Regards, Andreas Östling
