Its not a question of *working*, its that out-of-tree kernel modules are
considered unsupportable by the kernel people. So relying on KNI would
make the otherwise important and desireable tcpdump feature non-existent
on at least Fedora and RHEL where such modules are practically outright
banned by distro policies.
