That's LINKTYPE_IPNET, a/k/a Solaris ipnet (when I first saw "e1000g" I was wondering how Solaris was involved...), and 
recent versions of tcpdump and libpcap do support it.

Snow Leopard has libpcap 1.0.0/tcpdump 4.0.0, which didn't support LINKTYPE_IPNET; Lion has 1.1.0/4.1.0, which did.

I.e.:

        there's no guarantee that all of the top-of-trunk tests will work on anything other than top-of-trunk 
libpcap/tcpdump;

        not all versions of OSes that supply libpcap and tcpdump supply the latest version.
