NIC Recommendations

by toad812 . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

I am looking for a NIC to use with a SW based Protocol Analyzer.

I have found that just because a NIC is in Promiscuous Mode it does not mean that it will pass up errored frames and yes a HW based Protocol Analyzer is the best way to capture these errors.

Does anyone know of any PCMCIA or PCI cards on the market today that will pass up errored frames (CRCs,Misaligns, ect.)without a custom driver.
Please state make and model of NIC.
