You might have to ask IBM that.

Somebody contributed to tcpdump.org's libpcap code to create those  
devices; that code has a #define for the number of minor devices,  
which is passed to the genminor() routine in AIX. I don't know whether  
IBM's libpcap has that number compiled in or whether there's a  
configuration file that lets you specify the maximum number of minor  
devices.
