Question: why does the page have a self-referential link?  The top sez
  [   Supported Capture Media    |   Home   ]
with the first link pointing to the page it's on.

For Mac OS X:
  Ethernet - yes
  802.11 - cooked mode only (AFAIK); the driver is closed-source.
  Loopback - yes
  Serial (PPP) - yes

I'll find out for sure about the DLT_ stuff for 802.11.
