Hi there
I just installed Ethereal which was included with Red Hat 8.0. I am using
a 3Com TokenLink Velocity XL (with the 3c359 kernel module).
When I fire up Ethereal and start capturing (without any special filters or
options) the application locks up the system (X Freezes) and nothing works
any more: cold reset required.
I noticed that when I manually put the NIC in promiscuous mode using
ifconfig, I get a lot of kernel messages and after a certain time the
system crashes as well.
What could be causing this?
Regards
Tom
