Also, which version of Ethereal is this? It's probably not the latest
version, and may have had various changes made to it by the Debian
maintainer.

Does the version of tcpdump in Woody support token ring?
If so, does it work with the 2.2.x kernel?
If so, does it work with the 2.4.0-textX kernels?
If the answers are "yes", "yes", and "no", it's almost certainly a
libpcap problem.
I might suggest trying the latest CVS version of libpcap from
tcpdump.org; unfortunately, on UNIXes that come with a shared-library
version of libpcap, replacing it with a version from tcpdump.org is
probably a royal pain, as the tcpdump.org version doesn't build shared
libraries, and, even if you configure it to install on top of the
existing libpcap (rather than putting it under "/usr/local"), it'll
leave the old shared library around, meaning that if you try to build
