State-Changed-Why:  

the log seems to imply that bpf support exists, but I can't 
find *when* it was added in (read too many of these today, I'm going 
blind):

Clean up Ethernet drivers: 
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc 
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables 
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this 
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers 
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly

State-Changed-Why:  

All indications seem to point towards someone needing to rewrite 
this driver, so suspend the PR until that time so we don't lose it
