Folks,
 
I have eight LANs which I monitor at once.  Each LAN uses a Cisco Catalyst switch, and has a monitoring port to allow me to see all of the traffic on the switch.  The monitoring ports on the switches are up linked to another switch which acts as an aggregator.  This allows me to monitor all traffic on all LANs.
 
Now I have a similar smaller problem, which is to monitor two LANs at the same time.
 
Does anyone know of an Ethernet card which has two interfaces, but which presents itself as one interface (It would be nice of each port still had it's own MAC address).  This way I can still select the interface(s).
 
I'm running Linux, but I do not want to capture on "Any" interface, as described in previous postings.
 
Incidentally, how do I use this "Any" feature ?
 
 
Many thanks
