it is seeming more and more like hubs that broadcast all packets will be outdated. currently all netgear hubs that are 10/100 are in fact Switches. Most likely a cost issue i'm sure. I am using an old 10baseT hub... none of my switches or (so called ) 10/100 hubs will work with showeq.. or any other packet sniffer for that matter, My question is. is there a way to make this work on a MAC level perhaps? hmmmmm just trying to figure out what to do when my fiddy hunnerd year old hub takes a poop. I surely don't want to use my linux box as a router simply to get Seq packets.. anyhow just wondering if anyone else thought about this or am i missing something...
