Very thanks Anderow

I checked the D-Link DE-805TP hub by one of ettercap plugins, it is really is hub not switch.

About "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" I am capturing all traffic from my own IP but just the neighbor computers are invisible, I checked it for cheminy my card do not have this option.

is there any other possibility?

best wishes for you

Look in the archive for the thread "Query about capturing on Broadcom
