Folks,
 
When I use Ethereal on some Linux (Red Hat 6.2) systems which have two or three Ethernet cards, the Ethernet card I capture on does not seem to capture in promiscuous mode.  If I start another concurrent copy of Ethereal, the promiscuous mode seems to work and I get traffic.
 
Has anyone come across this problem.
 
Many Thanks
