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.
