Description 
IPv6 user-space snoop filters don't work with ipnet devices; the filters accidentally match the IPv4 protocol version in the ipnet header.  For example:

bash-3.2# snoop -I bge0 -U ip6
Using device ipnet/bge0 (promiscuous mode)
 10.8.57.253 -> ALL-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET UDP D=1985 S=1985 LEN=28
whitestar1-6.East.Sun.COM -> anla-shok.East.Sun.COM NIS C MATCH 10.8.57.253 in ipnodes.byaddr

Returns only IPv4 packets, which is backwards.
