Strange problem after upgrade from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14

I have a system that is getting a monitor feed from our Cisco border router of
all the traffic passing thru the border.  This system is running Argus v2
(yes, I know I need to upgrade, I'm waiting for some new equipment to come
online).  It was working fine running Fedora 13.

I upgraded the system to Fedora 14, and now all the traffic appears to be
reported as IPv6.  tcpdump gives this when I run it:

# /usr/sbin/tcpdump -i eth1 -lvnexX | more
08:25:48.581269 00:0f:23:bf:45:00 > 00:00:0c:07:ac:00, 802.3, length 1434:

I can see one of our IPs there (starting with byte 0x10, 80c86c33.

Is there some filter I need to set on tcpdump (and argus) to get useful data
back?  The argus data is useless as is.
