Since the modified pfinet cannot work either, the problem should be in pfinet.
I wonder what modification in pfinet can cause the problem.

If you'd like to, you can patch the original pfinet with my patches in
the following order and test it.
1. patch #6619: pfinet uses the virtual interface
2. patch #6620: pfinet changes its filter rules with its IP address
3. patch #6621: pfinet sets the mach device into the promiscuous mode.
4. patch #6622: pfinet uses the BPF filter

It should be very helpful for us to locate the problematic patch.
