 DAG cards by default capture entire packets including the L2
 CRC/FCS. If the card is not configured to discard the CRC/FCS, this
 can confuse applications that use libpcap if they're not prepared for
-packets to have an FCS. Libpcap now reads the environment variable
-ERF_FCS_BITS to determine how many bits of CRC/FCS to strip from the
-end of the captured frame. This defaults to 32 for use with
-Ethernet. If the card is configured to strip the CRC/FCS, then set
-ERF_FCS_BITS=0. If used with a HDLC/PoS/PPP/Frame Relay link with 16
-bit CRC/FCS, then set ERF_FCS_BITS=16.
