 | | In order to capture TokenRing traffic other than Unicast traffic to and from the host on which you're running Ethereal, Multicast traffic, and Broadcast traffic, the adapter will have to be put into promiscuous mode, so that the filter mentioned above is switched off and all packets received are delivered to the host. |
 | | TokenRing adapter drivers on UN*X probably always support promiscuous mode if the adapter is capable of it (they probably won't be able to support it on an adapter on which it's been permanently disabled). |
 | | Traditionally, TokenRing networks were shared networks, meaning all packets passed through, and thus were received by, all nodes on that network. |
