Here's the output:

# /usr/local/argus/sbin/argus -b - \( ip and not icmp \)
(000) ldh      [12]
(001) jeq      #0x800           jt 2	jf 7
(002) ldh      [12]
(003) jeq      #0x800           jt 4	jf 6
(004) ldb      [23]
(005) jeq      #0x1             jt 7	jf 6
(006) ret      #96
(007) ret      #0

The Fedora 9 libpcap version from the RPM name is 0.9.8-2.fc9.
