    You don't have it because it is a part of the network system drivers. The same apply for eth0 - I beleive you were wrong
    saying you had it in /dev directory, unless you are using some
    "prehistoric" version of the kernel.
    The device you should supply as an argument to your sniffer
    I beleive is the serial device to which your modem is attached
     - cuaN, N={1,2,..}.
