[Bochs-developers] ne2k problem on freebsd host

[Timothy S. <ti...@op...>]

when i try run my  install of win98 on my freebsd host it bombs with the 
following error (works fine without ne2k enabled)

Bochs is exiting with the following message:
[NE2K ] eth_freebsd: could not open packet filter: Permission denied

my .bochsrc line for the ne2k is
ne2k: ioaddr=0x240, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=fbsd, ethdev=sis0

matches my ifconfig
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:fece:a51a%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 192.168.1.201 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:0e:a6:ce:a5:1a
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active


here is where it bombs out in bochs.log
00000000000i[     ] init_dev of 'ne2k' plugin device by virtual method
00000000000i[NE2K ] port 0x240/32 irq 9 mac b0:c4:20:00:00:00
00000000000p[NE2K ] >>PANIC<< eth_freebsd: could not open packet filter: 
Permission denied

i'm running bochs as myself, not root and i suspect i need to give 
myself extra permissions on something to make this work? i've already 
added myself to group wheel and tried adding rw access to /dev/net/sis0 
with the same results.
i can't find anything on google that has a fix for my problem nor 
anything in the docs.
