freebsd stable - Apr 2012 - scanlogd doesnt start anymore after upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3 cause of USB

Hi,

today I updated one server to 8.3. Now scanlod fails to start with some
weird error message:
root@falko:~> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/scanlogd start  
Starting scanlogd.
pcap_compile: USB link-layer type filtering not implemented
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/scanlogd: WARNING: failed to start scanlogd

USB?!? Where does that come from? tcpdump seems affected too:
root@falko:~> tcpdump 
tcpdump: WARNING: usbus0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: unsupported data link type USB

Any ideas about the reason?

regards,
Hilko

If you are using packet filter,
echo hw.usb.no_pf=1 >>/boot/loader.conf

Hope this helps.

Thanks! 
| echo hw.usb.no_pf=1 >>/boot/loader.conf
did the trick. That helped.

I'm a bit puzzled to see a disrupive change like this  merged to a
Stable-branch without a heads-up and without documentation how to
disable it.
