Hi,

I have Ethereal 0.8.18 installed on two Solaris 2.8 systems, one is a
Ultra10 with hme NIC and one is a Compaq Deskpro with elxl NIC. Ethereal
running on these two systems cannot put the network interface into
promiscuous mode, but snoop can. Is there any special configuration I need
to apply in order to make Ethereal to be able to put NIC into promiscuous
mode? TIA.
