I am getting an IBM RS/6000 Real Soon Now, and will be using it for some LAN monitoring studies. I need to place the IEEE 802.3 adapter into "promiscuous" mode, so that it will forward all traffic to my software. I am aware that this has been done on various Sun and DEC platforms - has anyone seen any PD code for RS/6000 AIX? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John K.

If you look at /usr/include/net/if.h on the RS/6000 you find a note that promiscuous mode doesn't work currently. I'm trying to find out from IBM if they will EVER get it. No answer yet. (Text from /usr/include/net/if.h:) /* next two not supported now, but reserved: */ #define IFF_PROMISC 0x100 /* receive all packets */ #define IFF_ALLMULTI 0x200 /* receive all multicast packets */ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard A.
