I think at least some token ring interfaces don't support promiscuous
mode - and I seem to remember hearing that about some Madge token ring
adapters.
Unfortunately, if you follow the "Search the knowledgebase" link on
Madge's on-line knowledge base site:
http://kbase.madge.com/
you go to the page
http://kbase.madge.com/cssearch.htm
which says, err, umm
Welcome to http://www.worm.com !
Hacked By Chinese!
Alert, alert, Code Red, Code Red....
However, the page at
http://www.wildpackets.com/support/hardware/tokenpeek
says that for the Madge "Smart 16/4 PCMCIA Ringnode Mk2 (20-01)"
For promiscious[sic] capture, must enable "promiscious[sic] mode
support" (or "Statistics Gathering mode") in the adapter
properties and reboot.
and says similar thinks for other Madge adapters.
