I have used several release of RH, RH7.0, RH7.1  with different release
of kernel 2.4.5 --> 2.4.10 with packet driver included .

and with latest libpcap-0.6.2

My hardware environment is different Ethernet card ISA or PCI

and also MADGE TokenRing PCI RingNode Mk2 (using abyss driver)

While all is working fine on ethernet Interfaces, the packet are not
decoded at all on TokenRing interface:
the binary trace at IEEE 802.5 is recorded , but etherreal complain
about wrong header (suppose it tries to decode ethernet header instead
of TokenRing)

On the other hand I have used the same release of  Ethereal, but with
WinPcap in Windows 2000 environment on the same hardware platform than
for my Linux experiment. It's working better because all the captured
trace are decoded correctly, but unfortunately only the incoming ones
are captured !

My question is:
is there a way to get all the TokenRing traffic captured and decoded
correctly on Linux box ?
