I'm trying to write an ethernet driver and it appears as though standard
Sun tools like etherfind won't show packets with errors.  So does anyone
know of a package, or tool that will work like etherfind only display errored
packets as well as 'good' ones?  By errors I mean all levels of errors, from
CRC to UDP protocol errors.  I have access to a Sun ELC I can configure to
do this, I could also plug a PC into that wire if I wanted to.

What I really need is a sniffer but my boss won't spring for one....

Thanks.

jim
