It takes more than libpcap and a libpcap-based application to capture traffic - it \
takes, ultimately, support in the kernel for AF_BLUETOOTH SOCK_RAW sockets with \
BTPROTO_HCI as the protocol.  What version of the *kernel* is installed?

It also requires a version of libpcap that was configured to support Bluetooth \
sniffing.  I don't know how Ubuntu configures libpcap, nor whether it has whatever \
package installs the /usr/include/bluetooth include directory, upon which the libpcap \
code to do Bluetooth sniffing depends. \
