packet capture on sys Linux machines?

Anyone know what's up with this? tcpdump works just fine on the vegas*.sys
machines, which have 2.2.7 and CONFIG_PACKET=y, whereas tcpdump complains
that it can't open a socket on the other machines, which have
CONFIG_PACKET=m. Could it be simply that Linux 2.2 doesn't work right with
packet sockets as a module?
