Presumably you're saying more should be added to the "Capturing in the
presence of switches and routers" page in the "Troubleshooting with
Ethereal" section.

(Unfortunately, I'm not a switch configuration expert - the last time I
Telnetted to a switch was a couple of years ago, and I didn't do
anything with port mirroring - so I can't contribute anything there.)
