Hi. I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 and in the GENERIC
configuration file of the kernel in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf there is the following line:
"device bpf # Berkeley packet filter"

Though, in the FreeBSD handbook it says:
"pseudo-device bpf # Berkeley packet filter"
which is suitable only for 4.x kernels

In 5.x systems it should be "device" so the handbook
should be updated. thanks
