That's an error message from a pre-0.7.1 version of libpcap.  It's not
from any version that comes with AIX, either, as the ones that come with
AIX use BPF, not DLPI, and that's a DLPI error; this means you
presumably compiled and installed libpcap yourself.  (I don't know
whether AIX 4.x even comes with its own libpcap in a form that can be
used by applications other than the tcpdump that comes with AIX; I have
the impression it doesn't, and that it first showed up in AIX 5.x.)

Try:

	un-installing whatever version of libpcap you built and
	installed;

	downloading the latest version of libpcap (0.7.1) from
	tcpdump.org;

	building and installing *that* version;

	recompiling Ethereal to use that version.
