Hi,
Has anyone has success using Ethereal with the IBM PCI Token Ring
adapter?  I don't think that this is a Ethereal problem, but more a
problem with the driver for this adapter.  The "olympic" driver seems to
support promiscuous mode, but all I seem to capture are broadcast,
multicast, and frames directed to the machine running Ethereal.  I've
tweaked the olympic code based on Lanstreamer technical interface
document I've got, but so far no luck.  The document describes a
password to use to turn on the promiscuous mode, but when I've added
these modifications it still doesn't work.
Thanks for any help with this,
Tom
