    binaries, so users only need to make sure they have that version
    installed in order to have Ethereal (and tcpdump, and snort, and so on)
    accept "lanN"-style names (i.e., names of the sort reported by lanscan
    and handled by ifconfig), rather than "dlpiN".
    
    Get rid of the patches to update libpcap, get rid of the discussion in
    "README.hpux" of patching libpcap and just say "get 0.6.2", and make the
    notes on HP-UX kernel patches to fix problems with capturing outgoing
    packets a separate item in the list of items in "README.hpux".
    
    Also update the error messages Ethereal and Tethereal display if they
    can't open a device and the error is "can't find PPA for XXX" to say
    "get 0.6.2" rather than "patch libpcap and recompile.
